Aiming at the defects of an existing test method in the field of
word sense disambiguation test of
machine translation in the aspects of triggering effective
word sense conversion, maintaining original sense and maintaining
semantic consistency, the invention provides a
machine translation polysemous word translation evaluation method based on semantic item trigger word replacement. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, constructing a
polysemy semantic item
library, and screening source language sentences containing
polysemy from a parallel corpus according to the semantic item
library; performing
natural language processing on the
sentence, and identifying a trigger word of a
polysemy special definition item in the
sentence; replacing the trigger word with a replacement word to generate a variant
sentence; performing
machine translation and alignment on the original sentences and the variant sentences to obtain expressions of polysemy words in translations; and calculating the similarity of the polysemy translation expression, and judging whether a polysemy disambiguation error exists or not. Through a trigger word replacement strategy, a semantic controlled contrast
sentence pair can be constructed, potential errors of a
system in polysemous word translation are effectively revealed, and the pertinence and effectiveness of evaluation are improved.
