Abstract:
1. An apparatus for receiving a first text in a source language and a second text in a target language, the second text being a desired translation of the first text, and deriving, from the first text and the second text, new information to be added to a dictionary used in machine translation, comprising: a morpheme generator for generating a first set of morphemes in the target language from the first text; a morpheme analyzer for analyzing the second text into a second set of morphemes in the target language; a difference detector for finding differences between the first set of morphemes and the second set of morphemes; a dictionary referencer for finding existing information in said dictionary including morphemes in the source language corresponding to the differences found by the difference detector; and a pattern generator for automatically generating said new information from the differences found by the difference detector and the existing information found by the dictionary referencer.
