Bilingual corpus creation method, apparatus and program, and machine translation system

摘要

A translation corpus creation method of the present disclosure includes generating plural paraphrasing candidate sentences for a first original sentence in a first language by paraphrasing one or plural fragments among plural fragments included in the first original sentence into other expressions in the first language by a paraphrasing candidate sentence generation unit, identifying one or plural paraphrasing candidate sentences in the same meaning as the meaning of the first original sentence from the plural paraphrasing candidate sentences as one or plural paraphrasing sentences by a paraphrasing sentence identification unit, and generating a new set of sentences by setting the one or plural identified paraphrasing sentences and a second original sentence translated from the first original sentence as a set of sentences to create a translation corpus with the generated and new set of sentences by a translation corpus creation unit.
