Paraphrasing of Chinese Utterances
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the key issues in spoken language translation is how to deal with unrestricted expressions in spontaneous utterances. This research is centered on the development of a Chinese paraphraser that automatically paraphrases utterances prior to transfer in Chinese-Japanese spoken language translation. In this paper, a pattern-based approach to paraphrasing is proposed for which only morphological analysis is required. In addition, a pattern construction method is described through which paraphrasing patterns can be efficiently learned from a paraphrase corpus and human experience. Using the implemented paraphraser and the obtained patterns, a paraphrasing experiment was conducted and the results were evaluated.

In a spoken language translation system, when the input utterance can’t be successfully parsed and translated, if the system can provide the other possible expressions of the input, it will be very helpful to improve the performance of the translation system. This paper introduces an approach to paraphrasing Chinese utterances. In this approach, an input utterance is first analyzed in terms of ...
متن کاملInteraction between Paraphraser and Transfer for Spoken Language Translation
One of the problems in spoken language translation is the enormous variety of expressions not found in text translation. This volume can lead to a sparse translation coverage. In order to tackle this problem, we propose a machine translation model where an input is translated through both source-language and target-language paraphrasing processes. In this paper, we discuss the source paraphrasi...
متن کاملHPB SMT of FRDC Assisted by Paraphrasing for the NTCIR-9 PatentMT
ABSTRACT This paper describes the FRDC machine translation system for the NTCIR-9 PatentMT. The FRDC system JIANZHEN is a hierarchical phrase-based (HPB) translation system. We participated in all the three subtasks, i.e., Chinese to English, Japanese to English and English to Japanese. In this paper, we introduce a novel paraphrasing mechanism to handle a certain kind of Chinese sentences whos...
متن کاملCounseling Dialog System with 5W1H Extraction
In this paper, we introduce our counseling dialog system. Our system interacts with users by recognizing what the users say, predicting the context, and following the users‟ feelings. For this interaction, our system follows three basic counseling techniques: paraphrasing, asking open questions, and reflecting feelings. To follow counseling techniques, we extracted 5W1H information and user emo...
متن کاملApproach to Spoken Chinese Paraphrasing Based on Feature Extraction
This paper presents an approach to spoken Chinese language paraphrasing based on feature extraction and techniques of language generation. In this approach, an input utterance is first analyzed in terms of phrase structure, dependency of chunks, etc., by using multiple methods. Then, the main features of the input utterance are extracted, and the extraction results are represented by a frame. F...
