Apparatus, method and computer program product for optimum translation based on semantic relation between words
First Claim
1. A machine translation apparatus comprising:
- a identification information detection unit that detects identification information identifiable to a designated object;
a receiving unit that receives a source language sentence;
a word dividing unit that divides the source language sentence into a plurality of first word by morphological analysis;
a deixis detection unit that detects, from the first words, a deixis indicating the object directly;
a correspondence setting unit that sets the identifiable information of the designated object and the deixis in correspondence with each other;
a semantic class determining unit that determines a semantic class indicating a semantic attribute of the designated object based on the identifiable information of the designated object corresponding to the deixis; and
a translation unit that translates the source language sentence where the deixis is attached with the semantic class of the designated object.

Abstract
A machine translation apparatus includes a identification information detection unit that detects information identifiable to a designated object; a receiving unit that receives a source language sentence; a word dividing unit that divides the source language sentence into a plurality of first word by morphological analysis; a deixis detection unit that detects, from the divided word, a deixis indicating the object directly; a correspondence setting unit that sets the identification information of the designated object and the deixis in correspondence with each other; a semantic class determining unit that determines the semantic class indicating a semantic attribute of the designated objectbased on the identification information of the designated object corresponding to the deixis; and a translation unit that translates the source language sentence where the deixis is attached the attribute having the semantic class of the designated object.

16. A machine translation method comprising:
-
receiving an source language sentence;
dividing the source language sentence into plurality of first word by morphological analysis;
detecting from the first words a deixis indicating the object directly;
detecting identification information of the designated object;
setting identification information of the designated object in correspondence with the deixis;

17. A computer program product having a computer readable medium including programmed instructions for machine translation, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform:
-
receiving an source language sentence;
dividing the source language sentence into plurality of first word by morphological analysis;
detecting from the first words a deixis indicating the object directly;
detecting identification information of the designated object;
setting identification information of the designated object in correspondence with the deixis;
determining a semantic class indicating the semantic attribute of the designated object based on the identification information of the designated object set in correspondence with the deixis; and
translating the source language sentence where the deixis is attached the semantic class of the designated object.
