Description

The present invention relates to a machine translation device , a machine translation method, and a machine translation program that convert a first language document in a natural language into a second language document in another natural language.

  In general, in order to create a translation that is easier to understand in machine translation from foreign language to Japanese, extract the word strings that need to be adjusted (hereinafter referred to as adjustment required words) that appear in the sentence and cover them. It is necessary to make an adjustment and make adjustments. Technical terms can be cited as typical examples of words requiring adjustment.

  With the development of technology, new words representing new products and new technologies are being created every day, and with the spread of the Internet environment, opportunities to see documents containing these technical terms have increased significantly. Considering the characteristics of technical terms, existing words are often combined and inevitably compound words are increased. For example, when translating a compound word, if each word constituting the compound word is an existing word, it exists in the dictionary, so even a compound word can be translated.

  Here, the word to be adjusted is extracted by extracting the word that is the base of the technical term from the compound word extracted from the input document and the frequency of the constituent words and the number of word combinations. Some automatically extract a compound word including a word as a technical term (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, when there is an unknown word as a compound word or a word that is not registered in the dictionary, there is one that allows the user to efficiently know an appropriate translation for the unknown word (for example, Patent Literature) 2).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-116374 JP 2002-259375 A

  However, in the translation of compound words, there may be a plurality of translated words for each word constituting the compound word, and it is possible that a combination different from the currently output word is the correct translated word. In such a case, the user performs a search on the Internet in order to check the certainty of the translated word, and determines the certainty based on the number of search cases and how it is used in the document. In addition, not only compound words but also words that are considered to be technical terms may be unknown words, abbreviations, and translated words that have only the same katakana. Even in such cases, it is difficult to identify the original meaning from the headword and the translation, and the user can use an electronic dictionary tool or search on the Internet to find out what the word originally means. To check the appropriateness of the translation of the word used with the word.

  At this time, the user himself / herself specifies a character string that satisfies the desired condition, copies the character string, activates the browser, and performs an Internet search. Accordingly, screen switching frequently occurs and the operation becomes complicated. Moreover, it is a great burden on the user to perform this manually without omission.

An object of the present invention is to extract a word satisfying a condition desired by a user according to a characteristic of a headword or a translation word based on a translation result by machine translation and execute a command set by the user for the word To provide a machine translation device , a machine translation method, and a machine translation program which can be performed.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to extract a word that satisfies a condition desired by a user according to a characteristic of a headword or a translated word based on a translation result by machine translation, and to execute a command set by the user for the word.

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a machine translation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The machine translation apparatus 11 translates and outputs a first language into a second language. For example, a software program such as a machine translation program is installed in a general computer, and the software program is executed by the microprocessor 12. It is realized by doing. In the machine translation apparatus 11, a microprocessor 12, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 13, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 14 are connected via a bus 15. An input device 16, a display device 17, a network interface 18, and a magnetic disk device 19 are connected to the bus 15.

  The magnetic disk device 19 stores a machine translation program 20 and also stores a translation dictionary unit 21, a command storage unit 22, and a sentence information storage unit 23. The machine translation program 20 includes a system control unit 24, a translation unit 25, a command setting unit 26, and a command execution unit 27. Although not shown in the translation dictionary unit 21, a basic term dictionary and a technical term dictionary are included. Stores user dictionaries and the like.

  The microprocessor 12 implements the function of the machine translation device 11 by executing the machine translation program 20 stored in the magnetic disk device 19.

  The input device 16 is input means for inputting data and commands such as original text data and file data in the first language, and is usually a pointing device such as a keyboard, a mouse / touch panel, a voice recognition device, a character recognition device, or And an external storage medium reader such as a CD drive.

  The display device 17 stores, in the sentence information storage unit 23, a first language sentence (original sentence) input from the input device 16 and a second language sentence (translation) translated by the translation unit 25. The displayed information is displayed.

  The system control unit 24 of the translation program 20 controls the entire machine translation apparatus 11 and controls the entire machine translation program 20 and transfers data to and from the input device 16 and the display device 17. That is, the system control unit 24 sends the document to be translated to the translation unit 25 based on the text data from the input device 16 or the command instruction input from the input device 16, or calls the display device 17 to update the screen. And so on.

  The translation unit 25 performs translation processing on the text data in the first language sent from the system control unit 24 while referring to the dictionary of the translation dictionary unit 21 selected by the system control unit 24. The translation dictionary unit 21 stores various dictionary data used when the translation unit 25 performs translation processing.

The command setting unit 26 searches at least the word condition of the adjustment required word and the search destination of the adjustment required word in order to check the certainty of the adjustment required word included in the original text of the first language to be translated. The command name is set as the search command content and stored in the command storage unit 22. The contents of the search command will be described later.

  The sentence information storage unit 23 stores the original text of the first language and the data of the second language as the translation result in association with each other, and stores the attributes of the words constituting the first language and the second language. Yes. The attributes here are at least a headword, a part of speech, a corresponding translation number, and a condition number in the case of the first language, and at least a translation, a part of speech, a corresponding headword number in the case of the second language, Condition number.

  When the command input from the input device 16 is a command set by the user, the command execution unit 27 reads the setting content from the command storage unit 22 and executes the command that matches the condition number. Further, the system control unit 24 assigns a command number to a word satisfying the condition number set in the command storage unit 22 for the result after translation processing. The condition number and command number will be described later.

  Next, the operation of the machine translation apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a procedure for setting the search command contents for the word requiring adjustment by the command setting unit 26.

  When a user command setting request is received from the input device 16 (S1), a command setting screen for setting the contents of the search command for the word requiring adjustment is displayed (S2). The user sets each item of the search command content according to the command setting screen (S3), and stores the set search command content in the command storage unit 22.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the command setting screen 28 displayed in step S1. The command setting screen 28 includes a search command name field 29 for displaying a search menu for a word requiring adjustment, a search command type field 30 for selecting a type of command to be executed, and a word condition field for setting a condition of a word to be commanded. 31. When the search command type column 30 is “program execution”, it is composed of a command character string column 32 for designating a program to be executed.

  Next, in step S2, the user sets each item on the command setting screen 28. For example, when selecting a search command, the search command type column 30 and the word condition column 31 for which options are prepared are selected by clicking with a mouse button as the input device 16.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of options in the search command type column 30. As shown in FIG. 4, in the search command type column 30, a command number 34 is assigned for each option of each command 33, and the command number 34 corresponding to the command 33 selected by the user is selected.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of options in the word condition column 31 . As shown in FIG. 5, the word condition column 31 is also assigned a condition number 36 for each option of each condition 35 in the word condition column 31 like the search command type column 30 and can be selected by clicking with the mouse button. Is displayed. A condition number 36 corresponding to the condition 35 selected by the user is selected.

  Next, the command character string column 32 of FIG. 3 can be input when the search command type column 30 is “execute program”. For example, the path to the executable file name when starting an external program and each program passed to the program are displayed. Describe parameters. If a character string that matches the condition is included in this parameter, a special character string such as% ARG% is described to replace that part with the character string that matches the condition, and the program is started.

  The OK button 37 is a button for permitting the contents set on the command setting screen 28 to be written to the command storage unit 22, and the cancel button 38 is used to write the contents set on the command setting screen 28 to the command storage unit 22. It is a button for canceling. When the OK button 37 is clicked, the contents set on the command setting screen 28 are written in the command storage unit 22.

  An example of the contents written in the command storage unit 22 is shown below. The search command name, command number, condition number, and command character string items are stored in a form separated by a delimiter such as a comma or tab.

(1) Yahoo search, 1,2, browser.exe http://search.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=%ARG%&fr=top_v2&tid
(2) Electronic dictionary search, 1,3, dic.exe / k% ARG%
(3) Google search, 1,4, browser.exe http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&rls=
(4) Example search, 2, 5,
Next, a process for checking the probability of translation of the words requiring adjustment included in the original text of the first language to be translated will be described. Assume that the first language is an English original, the second language is a Japanese translation, and the following original (document data) in the first language English is read from the input device 16 first. To do.

TV makes the transition to high definition digital broadcasts.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the contents of display processing of the original text of the first language to be translated by the system control unit 24. When there is a request for reading the original text in English of the first language from the input device 16 (S11), the system control unit 24 performs sentence cut processing on the input text data of the original text of the first language, for each sentence. The sentence information is stored in the sentence information storage unit 23 (S12). The process of separating each sentence is separated by a sentence ending symbol such as “.”, “?”, “!”. Note that there are cases where “.” Is included in a word such as “Mr.”. Therefore, if the word is included in the translation dictionary unit 21 in a form including a sentence ending symbol, it is not a subject of separation.

  Subsequently, the system control unit 24 causes the display device 17 to display the original text on the display screen based on the text data stored in the text information storage unit 23 and input an event from the input device 16 as shown in FIG. A waiting state is entered (S13). In FIG. 7, since the input original sentence is one sentence, only one sentence is displayed, but when there are a plurality of sentences, the plurality of sentences are displayed by being divided into sentences.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the display processing contents of the original text of the first language to be translated and the translated text of the second language by the system control unit 24. The system control unit 24 determines whether the request received from the input device 16 is a translation request (S21). If the received request is other than a translation request, the process ends and it is determined whether the request is another request.

  When translation is instructed from the input device 16, the system control unit 24 causes the translation unit 25 to execute a translation process for translating the original text in the first language acquired from the text information storage unit 23 into the translated text in the second language. (S22).

  Here, in the embodiment of the present invention, the result after translation processing is stored in the sentence information storage unit 23. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of sentence information stored in the sentence information storage unit 23 according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9A is the original text information of the first language to be translated, and FIG. Translation information of the second language.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, the original text information of the first language to be translated includes the word number 39 indicating the position from the head of the sentence of the word divided for each headword existing in the dictionary in the translation process, the headline Word character string 40, part-of-speech 41, correspondence number 42 representing the correspondence with each translated word of the second language having the same sentence number, given when the word satisfies the condition stored in command storage unit 22 Condition number 43 for each sentence.

  Also, with regard to translated sentence information in the second language after translation, each of the first language having the same word number 39 ′, translated character string 40 ′, part of speech 41 ′, and sentence number indicating the position of the word from the beginning. Each sentence has a correspondence number 42 ′ representing a correspondence relationship with the headword and a condition number 43 ′ given when the word satisfies the condition stored in the command storage unit 22. When translation processing is performed on each sentence stored in the sentence information storage unit 23, the results shown in FIG. 9A for the first language and FIG. 9B for the second language are obtained.

  Subsequently, the contents stored in the command storage unit 22 are collated (S23). The system control unit 24 requests the command execution unit 27 for processing. The command execution unit 27 first reads the setting contents from the command storage unit 22. Assume that a command number 1 (program execution) and a condition number 2 (compound word (noun continuation)) are set in the command storage unit 22.

  In this embodiment, a compound word is treated as a compound word when nouns continue or when a noun continues after an adjective. That is, in Patent Document 1, a compound word extracted from an input document is extracted from the compound word by extracting a word as a base of the technical term from the frequency of the constituent words and the number of word combinations. Although a word including a base word is extracted as a technical term, in the embodiment of the present invention, a wider range is selected as an extraction target in order to prevent leakage of a confirmation target.

  Subsequently, the content of the translation processing result (FIG. 9A, FIG. 9B) of sentence number 1 is acquired from the sentence information storage unit 23, and the conditions set in the command storage unit 22 in the command execution unit 27 It is determined whether or not there is a word whose number is 2 ((compound word (noun continuous))). 9A and 9B, the word numbers 39 and 39 ′ are obtained in order from the data “1”, the current part of speech is a noun, and the previous word number or the next word number is a noun. If a word is detected, condition number 2 is set for the current word number.

  In the example of FIGS. 9A and 9B, the word number 4 “high definition” is a noun, the word number 5 “digital” is a noun, and the word number 6 “broadcasts” is a noun. The condition of the word set in the storage unit 22 is satisfied, and “2” is set in the condition number column of the sentence information as shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b).

  When the condition number is 1 (compound word (adjective + noun continuation)), if the part of speech column of the current word number 39, 39 'is an adjective, the next or next word number 39, 39' When the part-of-speech column is a noun, “1” is set in the condition numbers 43 and 43 ′. If the part of speech column of the current word number 39, 39 'is a noun, the part of speech of the previous word number 39, 39' is an adjective and the part of speech of the next word number 39, 39 'is a noun, or the previous word number When the part of speech of 39, 39 ′ is a noun, the condition number “1” is set for the current word number 39, 39 ′.

  When the processes of step S22 and step S23 are completed, the system control unit 24 displays the information stored in the sentence information storage unit 23 on the display device 17 (S24). As shown in FIG. 11, the display device 17 displays FIG. 10 (a) stored in the sentence information storage unit 23 in the original sentence display area and FIG. 10 (b) in the translated sentence display area. At this time, the word for which a value other than “0” is set in the condition number field is displayed in a form distinguished from other words, for example, by adding an underline as shown in the first sentence of FIG. indicate.

Next, a case where a user setting command is executed for the “high definition digital broadcast” portion, which is the word requiring adjustment in the first sentence in FIG. 11, will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the processing procedure of the user setting command. The user setting command is executed for a word portion that satisfies a condition set by the user using the command setting screen 38. For example, the execution is started by a combination of “Ctrl” key + mouse click. Now, it is assumed that the user setting command is executed by a combination of “Ctrl” key + mouse click or the like on a word portion that satisfies a condition set by the user. If the “Ctrl” key + mouse click is performed on the “high-definition digital broadcast” portion of the first sentence in FIG. 11, an event of a user setting command is issued. This event is sent to the system control unit 24.

  The system control unit 24 determines whether or not the user setting command has been executed (S31), and when determining that the user setting command has been executed, the system control unit 24 calls the command execution unit 27 to execute the command (S32).

  That is, the command execution unit 27 specifies the target sentence and the word number 39 ′ from the sentence information storage unit 23 based on the mouse position information, and acquires the condition number 43 ′ associated with the word number 39 ′. , It is identified that the condition number “2” is set. A continuous portion in which the condition number “2” is set is extracted, and “high-definition digital broadcasting” is set as a target character string. Subsequently, the command number is acquired by detecting data in which the condition number “2” is set from the command storage unit 22. Since the command number for which the condition number “2” is set is “1”, it is determined that the program is executed, and a command character string is acquired. The command character string is executed by replacing the% ARG% portion in the command character string with “high definition digital broadcasting”.

  As a result, the YYY search program is executed, a search for “high-definition digital broadcasting” is performed via the Internet, and the search result is obtained. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately determine whether the translated word is correct.

  In the above description, the case where the noun continuous compound word or the adjective and the noun continuous compound word is described as the adjustment required word has been described, but the present invention can be similarly applied to the case where the adjustment required word is an abbreviation.

  Now, as shown in FIG. 13, it is assumed that the original text in the first language including the abbreviation HDTV is stored in the sentence information storage unit 23 in a form divided into sentences. The original processing in the first language including HDTV, which is the abbreviation shown in FIG. 13, is processed in the same way as shown in FIG. 8, and the sentence information storage unit 23 stores the translation target as shown in FIG. The original text information of the first language and the translated text information of the second language after translation as shown in FIG. 14B are stored.

  Further, the command execution unit 27 determines whether or not there is a word having a condition number 3 (abbreviation) set in the command storage unit 22, and if the character strings match, it is determined as an abbreviation. “3” is set as the condition number. In this example, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, “HDTV” is determined as an abbreviation, and condition number 3 is set. Then, the system control unit 24 displays the information stored in the sentence information storage unit 23 on the display device 17 as shown in FIG. 16, and executes a user setting command for the “HDTV” portion of the abbreviation. As a result, the electronic dictionary search program is executed, the electronic dictionary is searched, and the search result is obtained. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately determine whether the translated word is correct.

  Similarly, in the case of katakana as well as abbreviations, after completion of translation, a character string is acquired from the translated word column in order from word number 1, and it is determined whether or not the acquired character string is composed of katakana and long sound, If the condition is satisfied, a condition number indicating katakana is set in the condition number field. Then, the user setting command is executed for the katakana portion. As a result, the GGG search program is executed, the katakana portion is searched via the Internet, and the search result is obtained. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately determine whether the translated word is correct.

  Further, in the above description, the case where the word condition of the word requiring adjustment is a compound word and the case where there is one translation of the word has been described, but the case where the word holds a plurality of translations in the translation dictionary unit When any word constituting the compound word is designated, the translation unit 25 reconstructs the translated words of the plurality of compound words, and the command execution unit 27 targets the reconstructed word string. A command set by the user may be executed. Thereby, a more appropriate translation can be obtained for a compound word having a plurality of translations.

  FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram of an example of sentence information stored in the sentence information storage unit 23 in that case. In FIG. 17, character selections 44 and 44 'are added to the sentence information shown in FIG. That is, the same processing as described above is performed until the translation processing, and the sentence information to which the character selection 44 is added is stored in the sentence information storage unit 23 as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the display of the sentence information shown in FIG. 17 stored in the sentence information storage unit 23. Then, one of the compound words “high-definition digital broadcasting” is designated to reconstruct the compound word translation. FIG. 18 shows a case where the word “high definition” in “high definition digital broadcasting” is designated. As a means for designating a word, as shown in FIG. 18, the corresponding word is designated by a method such as highlighting with a mouse in advance. The position where the left button of the mouse was clicked is stored as the start position of the reverse character string, the mouse is moved while the left button is clicked, and the position where the left button is released is the end position of the reverse character string. Remember as.

  During this time, the mouse event sent from the input device 16 is sent from the system control unit 24 to the command execution unit 27. The command execution unit 27 reads the sentence information from the sentence information storage unit 23, identifies that the mouse position information and the left button of the mouse are kept pressed, reversely displays the corresponding character string, and causes the display device 17 to In addition to the display, character selection information is assigned to the character selection 44 field of the word number corresponding to the mouse position.

  Next, the processing procedure of the user setting command issued when the user clicks the “Ctrl” key + the left mouse button on the reversed character string portion will be described. FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram of the processing procedure of the user setting command. Now, an example will be described in which the user setting command is executed for the “high definition” portion while the “high definition” portion of the first sentence in FIG. 18 is highlighted.

  The system control unit 24 monitors whether or not the user setting command has been executed (S41), and the “Ctrl” key + mouse click is performed on the “high definition” portion of the first sentence in FIG. When the event is issued, the system control unit 24 determines that the user setting command has been executed, and calls the command execution unit 27. The command execution unit 27 specifies the target sentence and the word number 39 ′ from the information stored in the sentence information storage unit 23 based on the mouse position information. The condition number 43 ′ associated with the word number 39 ′ is acquired, the condition number “2” is identified, and the user setting command is determined. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the word under the mouse is inverted by referring to the field of the character selection 44 'of the specified word number 39' (S42).

  If the character is not selected, the command is executed (S43). That is, continuous portions where the condition number “2” is set are extracted, and “high-definition digital broadcasting” is set as the target character string. Then, the data set with the condition number “2” is detected from the command storage unit 23 and the command number is acquired. In this case, since the command number is “1”, it is determined that the program is executed and a command character string is obtained. In the command character string, the% ARG% portion is replaced with “high-definition digital broadcasting”, and the command character string is changed. Execute.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S42 that the specified word number is in the character selection state, a translation word candidate is generated (S44), and the command is executed (S45). That is, the information on the original sentence side having the same sentence number is acquired from the sentence information storage unit 23, and then the headword is specified from the word number having the same corresponding number. Here, “high definition” is acquired as a headword corresponding to “high definition”. Next, the translation registered in “high definition” is acquired from the translation dictionary unit 21. Here, “high definition”, “high resolution”, “high definition”, and “high quality” are acquired. Subsequently, when extracting the continuous portion where the condition number “2” is set, the “high definition” portion uses the four candidates registered in the “high definition” and “high definition digital Broadcast, high-resolution digital broadcast, high-definition digital broadcast, and high-definition digital broadcast are generated as translation candidates.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20, four translation word candidates 45 are presented to the user. When all the buttons 46 in FIG. 20 are pressed, data in which the condition number “2” is set is detected from the command storage unit 23, and the command number is acquired. In this case, since the command number is “1”, it is determined that the program is executed, the command character string is acquired, and the% ARG% portion in the command character string is “high-definition digital broadcast” or “high-resolution digital broadcast”. ”,“ High-definition digital broadcasting ”,“ High-definition digital broadcasting ”, and the command character string is executed.

  On the other hand, when the selection unit button 47 is pressed, the command character string is executed by replacing the% ARG% portion in the command character string with a checked character string. If the close button 48 is pressed, the process is terminated without doing anything.

  As described above, when a word of a compound word holds a plurality of translated words, when any word constituting the compound word is designated, a translated word of a plurality of compound words in which the translated word is replaced is constituted. Then, the command execution unit 27 executes the command set by the user for the reconstructed word string, so that a more appropriate translation can be obtained for a compound word having a plurality of translations.
