Application ID: 13685372

Base Claim:
1. A method for managing a personalized machine translation system, the method comprising: receiving translator feedback regarding machine translations generated by a machine translation system for a translator, the machine translation system using a translation methodology, the translator feedback comprising a triple having a source unit, a translation unit of the source unit, and a correction unit; determining translator feedback that improves translations generated by the machine translation system; incorporating the determined translator feedback into the translation methodology of the machine translation system to personalize the translation methodology, the incorporation of the translator feedback comprising: constructing a first translation table that comprises pairs of source units and correction units; extracting dictionary entries from the translator feedback by: preparing the pairs for alignment, aligning words included in the pairs, and extracting first phrase pairs based upon word alignment; constructing a second translation table that comprises pairs of source units and translation units; and extracting dictionary entries from the translator feedback by: preparing the pairs for alignment, aligning words included in the pairs, and extracting second phrase pairs based upon word alignment; and filtering the first and second phrase pairs by: selecting first and second phrase pairs having a threshold amount of words included in the phrase; selecting first and second phrase pairs that have terminal words which are aligned; and including the selected first and second phrase pairs in the translation methodology of the machine translation system.

Claim 3:
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising evaluating the translator feedback prior to the step of incorporating the translator feedback into the translation methodology to determine if the translator feedback comprises an improved translation relative to a translation generated by the machine translation system without the translator feedback.
