Pre-reordering Model of Chinese Special Sentences for Patent Machine Translation
Renfen Hu, Zhiying Liu, Lijiao Yang, Yaohong Jin · 2014
Chinese prepositions play an important role in sentence reordering, especially in patent texts.In this paper, a rule-based model is proposed to deal with the long distance reordering of sentences with special prepositions.We firstly identify the prepositions and their syntax levels.After that, sentences are parsed and transformed to be much closer to English word order with reordering rules.After integrating our method into a patent MT system, the reordering and translation results of source language are effectively improved.
