Firstly a bilingual example database for patent NPs is built, forming NP tree database. The input NP to be translated is firstly parsed into a tree. Then NP trees are searched for which match with the input NP tree. If similar NP trees exist, HowNet is used to find the best NP tree by calculating word semantic similarity of leaf nodes of the NP tree. Final translations are obtained by calculating cohesion of candidate words. If there are no similar NP trees, subtrees that match the input NP tree are searched for and translations generate by subtree substitutions recursively. Experimental results show that our method outperforms a baseline Pharaoh, by using BLEU evaluation system.Read More
