Statistics-based machine translation method and apparatus, and electronic device

Abstract

The present invention discloses a statistics-based machine translation method and apparatus and an electronic device, a semantic similarity-degree calculation method and apparatus and an electronic device, and a word quantization method and apparatus and an electronic device. The statistics-based machine translation method comprises: according to a feature that affects a translation probability and that is of each candidate translation and a pre-generated translation probability prediction model generating a translation probability of a sentence to be translated into each candidate translation, wherein the feature that affects the translation probability at least comprises a semantic similarity-degree between the sentence to be translated and the candidate translation; and selecting a preset number of candidate translations whose translation probabilities rank top as a translation of the sentence to be translated. By adoption of the statistics-based machine translation method provided by the present application, the semantic level of the natural language can be reached deeply when the machine translation model is constructed, and the deviation of semantics between the translation and the source text is avoided, so as to achieve the effect of improving translation quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of machine translation, in particular to a statistics-based machine translation method, device and electronic equipment. The present application also relates to a method, device and electronic device for calculating semantic similarity, and a word quantization method, device and electronic device. Background technique [0002] Machine translation refers to the use of electronic computers to automatically translate from one natural language text (source language) to another natural language text (target language). The software used to complete this process is called a machine translation system. With the development and popularization of electronic computers and the Internet, cultural exchanges between various ethnic groups have become more frequent, and the problem of language barriers has once again become prominent in the new era. People are in more urgent need of machine translation than ever be...
