VERB PATTERN AUTOMATIC EXTENSION AND VERIFICATION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USE IN KOREAN-CHINESE MACHINE TRANSLATION SYSTEM

A verb pattern automatic extension and verification apparatus for use in a Korean-Chinese machine translation system automatically extracts the verb pattern source part that is not applied with the verb pattern contained in the current Korean and Chinese pattern dictionary, and automatically generates the new Korean-Chinese verb pattern based on Chinese target language. The apparatus further automatically extends one newly generated Korean-Chinese verb pattern to a plurality of similar verb pattern candidates, and newly registers the newly-generated and extended Korean-Chinese verb patterns in the Korean and Chinese verb pattern dictionary database. Accordingly, it is possible to easily and automatically collect a large quantity of the Korean and Chinese verb patterns. Further, the translation rate of the Korean-Chinese machine translation system can be rapidly increased due to the automatically increasing verb patterns.
