Evaluation of Number-Kanji Translation Method of Non-Segmented Japanese Sentences Using Inductive Learning with Degenerated Input

摘要

Our proposed method enables us to promptly and easily input Japanese sentences into a small device. All the keys for input are only 12 keys, which are 0, 1,..., 9, * and . Therefore, we are able to input one Kana character per one keystroke. Furthermore, the system based on our method automatically generates the dictionary adapted to the target field because the system automatically acquires words by using inductive learning. The system is improved by its own learning ability.
