Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing a two-way automatic interpretation and translation service. The apparatus includes a first interpretation and translation unit for interpreting and translating a first language into a second language. A second interpretation and translation unit interprets and translates the second language into the first language. A context information management unit receives conversational context and translation history information, and shares and manages the conversational context and translation history information. Each of the first and second interpretation and translation units provides an interpretation service for receiving an input conversation in the first or second language in speech and outputting results of interpretation in speech in the second or first language, and a translation service for receiving an input conversation in the first or second language in text and outputting results of translation in text in the second or first language.
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide an apparatus for searching information based on Wikipedia's contents comprising: a document converting part extracting fulltext documents, section title documents, info-box documents, category documents and definition statement documents from Wikipedia original documents and generating at least one of Wikipedia documents for questions and answers; a document indexing part analyzing the Wikipedia document for questions and answers, extracting POS-based index terms from the Wikipedia document for questions and answers, and generating a Wikipedia document index for questions and answers; a question analyzing part receiving a natural language question, analyzing a question pattern, an answer pattern and a question focus from the natural language question, and extracting document search keywords; a document searching part performing document search by using the document search keywords from the Wikipedia document index for questions and answers and generating document search result from each Wikipedia document index for questions and answers; an answer extracting part extracting first answers by using information about the question pattern, the answer pattern and the question focus from the document search result; and an answer integrating part integrating and prioritizing the first answer and generating a second answer.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an automatic translation apparatus and method capable of optimizing limited translation knowledge in a database mounted in a portable mobile communication terminal, obtaining translation knowledge from external servers in order to provide translation knowledge appropriate for respective users, and effectively updating the database mounted in the terminal. The automatic translation apparatus includes: an input unit configured to receive translation target information inputted to be translated from a user; a translation unit configured to perform translation for the translation target information based on translation data included in a translation database and to extract translation information generated during the translation process; and a communication unit configured to transmit the translation information to a first server and to receive, from the first server, new translation data being not included in the translation database among various kinds of data necessary for performing the translation for the translation target information.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a motion sensor-based portable automatic interpretation apparatus and control method thereof, which can precisely detect the start time and the end time of utterance of a user in a portable automatic interpretation system, thus improving the quality of the automatic interpretation system. The motion sensor-based portable automatic interpretation apparatus includes a motion sensing unit for sensing a motion of the portable automatic interpretation apparatus. An utterance start time detection unit detects an utterance start time based on an output signal of the motion sensing unit. An utterance end time detection unit detects an utterance end time based on an output signal of the motion sensing unit after the utterance start time has been detected.
