First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving or generating bi-content including source content in a source language or format and corresponding target content in a target language or format, wherein the target language or format is different from the source language or format;
generating a source weighted finite state automaton representing the source content of the bi-content;
generating a target weighted finite state automaton representing the target content of the bi-content; and
computing a bilateral intersection between (i) the source weighted finite state automaton, (ii) a synchronous weighted context-free grammar comprising synchronized grammars for the source language or format and the target language or format, and (iii) the target weighted finite state automaton to generate an enriched synchronous weighted context-free grammar;
wherein the generating of the source and target weighted finite state automata and the computing of the bilateral intersection are performed by a digital processor.
