Abstract

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a first reception unit that receives modification to a translation result of at least one first document from a user, a generation unit that generates a translation rule corresponding to the modification received by the first reception unit, a second reception unit that receives original texts of at least one second document, and a utilization unit that utilizes the translation rule generated by the generation unit at the time of translating the original texts received by the second reception unit, depending on relevance between the at least one first document and the second document.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a first reception unit that receives modification to a translation result of at least one first document from a user;

a generation unit that generates a translation rule corresponding to the modification received by the first reception unit;

a second reception unit that receives original texts of at least one second document; and

a utilization unit that utilizes the translation rule generated by the generation unit at the time of translating the original texts received by the second reception unit, depending on relevance between the at least one first document and the second document.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the utilization unit utilizes the translation rule generated by the generation unit at the time of translating the original texts received by the second reception unit, based on a number of times or a proportion that the translation rule has been applied to the at least one first document.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the utilization unit utilizes the translation rule generated by the generation unit at the time of translating the original texts received by the second reception unit, based on relevance of a hierarchical structure between the first document and the second document.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the utilization unit utilizes the translation rule in a case where an index value that represents a number of times or a proportion that the translation rule has been applied to the at least one first document and is calculated for each component in the hierarchical structure is greater than a threshold value.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4,

wherein in a case where attribute information in the hierarchical structure of the second document includes a first component and a second component belonging to a lower hierarchy than that of the first component, and the same translation rule is applied to the first component and the second component while the index values of the first component and the second component are different from each other, the utilization unit utilizes an index value associated with the second component as an index of the translation rule.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4,

wherein in a case where attribute information in the hierarchical structure of the second document includes a first component and a second component belonging to a lower hierarchy than that of the first component, the first component includes a first rule, and the second component includes a second rule, the translation rule according to the second rule is preferentially utilized.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:

a memory in which the index value is stored;

a display that displays translation result generated by the generation unit;

a third reception unit that receives a designation of whether to apply the translation rule to the second document or not from a user; and

an update unit that updates the index value stored in the memory with respect to the translation rule, based on the designation received by the third reception unit.

8. An information processing method comprising:

receiving modification to a translation result of at least one first document from a user;

generating translation rules corresponding to the received modification;

receiving original texts of at least one second document; and

utilizing the generated translation rule at the time of translating the received original texts, depending on relevance between the at least one first document and the second document.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

receiving modification to a translation result of at least one first document from a user;

generating translation rules corresponding to the received modification;

receiving original texts of at least one second document; and

utilizing the generated translation rule at the time of translating the received original texts, depending on relevance between the at least one first document and the second document.
