Claim:
An apparatus for training a parsing statistic model, which is to be used in transliteration between a single-syllable language and a multi-syllable language and includes sub-syllable parsing probabilities of said multi-syllable language, comprising: a corpus inputting unit configured to input a bilingual proper name list as corpus, said bilingual proper name list includes a plurality of proper names of said multi-syllable language and corresponding proper names of said single-syllable language respectively; a rule parsing unit configured to parse said plurality of proper names of multi-syllable language in said bilingual proper name list into sub-syllable sequences using parsing rules; a parsing determining unit configured to determine whether a parsing of said proper name of multi-syllable language is correct according to the corresponding proper name of said single-syllable language in said bilingual proper name list; and a parsing statistic model training unit configured to train said parsing statistic model base on the result of parsing that is determined as correct.
