[0023]

[0024] Semantic roles are divided into core semantic roles and additional semantic roles. The core semantic role is represented by ARG+number, which is generally considered to include 5 categories, among which ARG0 represents the doer of the action, ARG1 represents the recipient of the action, ARG2 represents the tool, means, etc. of the action, ARG3 represents the starting point, and ARG4 represents the end point. The additional semantic role is denoted by AGRM-, which is used to indicate the time, place, etc. of the action, such as "in 1989" in Example 1 above.

[0025] As mentioned earlier, the inventors realized that semantic roles can express semantics to a certain extent, and bilingual parallel sentence pairs are mutual translations, so they should be equivalent in semantics, which is reflected in the semantic role Labeling, two corresponding sentences should have a consistent predicate-argument structure. For example, the following example shows the argumen...

Abstract

The invention provides a machine translation evaluation method and equipment and a machine translation method and equipment which are used for a cross-language question and answer system. The machine translation evaluation method comprises the steps that semantic role labeling is conducted on source language query sentences and corresponding target language query sentences obtained through machine translation; the alignment probability of each labeled argument in the source language query sentences and each labeled argument in the target language query sentences is calculated; the translation quality of the target language query sentences is determined on the basis of all the calculated alignment probabilities. According to the method, a novel machine translation evaluation scheme which utilizes semantic role labeling and is based on the argument alignment probabilities is provided; by means of the method, accurate machine translation evaluation can be provided, and then the performance of the cross-language question and answer system is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to machine translation, and specifically relates to a machine translation evaluation method and device for a cross-language question answering system, and a machine translation method and device. Background technique [0002] Cross-language question answering system (Cross-language question answering system) is the product of the use of cross-language information retrieval technology in automatic question answering systems. Compared with single-language automatic question answering systems, cross-language question answering systems need to involve more complex cross-language and information Retrieval and other processing techniques. It requires the system to receive the user's question expressed in the source language as input, the system automatically finds the best answer to the question in another language's corpus, and returns the answer to the user in the source language. Since the language of the question...
