Method and device for translating Chinese organization name into English with the aid of network knowledge

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and device for translating a Chinese organization name into English. The method for translating the Chinese organization name into English comprises the following steps: dividing the Chinese organization name to be translated into English into four language chunks by using a word-based conditional random field model, and carrying out word segmentation to the fourlanguage chunks; selecting a plurality of phrases with certain information and translation confidence for statistical translation to obtain the translation results of the phrases of the organization name and form a bilingual inquiry with the Chinese organization name to be translated into English; searching the bilingual inquiry with a search engine to obtain the segments of a plurality of Chinese-English mixed webpages; extracting the English in the segments of the Chinese-English mixed webpages and selecting the segment which has the highest matching rate with the Chinese organization name in English sentences with the aid of the asymmetrical Chinese-English aligning technology; and determining an optical segment as the translation of the Chinese organization name by calculating the occurrence frequency of each segment. The method for translating the Chinese organization name into English overcomes the defect that a statistical translating model is prone to the structure, order and phrase selection errors during the Chinese organization name translation and improves the Chinese organization name translation precision by 35.26 percent.
