20080281578 | DOCUMENT TRANSLATION SYSTEM - A document translation system is described. In various embodiments, the document translation system improves translations of text or speech (“documents”) that are performed by computing devices (“machine translations”). Upon translating a document into a target language, the system can provide a user interface containing both the original document and a translated document. The translated document can include portions that are translated automatically by a machine translation service, and other portions that have been amended or modified by users. Upon providing the translated document, the system may receive input from a user describing portions of the translated document that should be modified. These modifications may then be stored in corpora that the document translation system can employ during future requests to translate the document. When multiple modifications are stored, the system may select one of the stored modifications during translation, such as based on the document type, reputation of the user who provided the modification, and so forth. The stored corpora can then be employed to improve future machine translations. | 11-13-2008 |
20080281927 | Summarization tool and method for a dialogue sequence - The application discloses embodiments of a summarization tool for a dialogue sequence or message thread.

20100299132 | MINING PHRASE PAIRS FROM AN UNSTRUCTURED RESOURCE - A mining system applies queries to retrieve result items from an unstructured resource. The unstructured resource may correspond to a repository of network-accessible resource items. The result items that are retrieved may correspond to text segments (e.g., sentence fragments) associated with resource items. The mining system produces a structured training set by filtering the result items and establishing respective pairs of result items. A training system can use the training set to produce a statistical translation model. The translation model can be used in a monolingual context to translate between semantically-related phrases in a single language. The translation model can also be used in a bilingual context to translate between phrases expressed in two respective languages. Various applications of the translation model are also described. | 11-25-2010 |

Each sentence of each document is assigned a score based upon the perceived importance of the information contained therein. The sentences receiving the highest scores are then compared with one another to identify and remove any duplicate sentences. The remaining high-scoring sentences are extracted from the corresponding documents and presented to the user, for instance, in a bulleted list format. The user can then simply scan the list and can quickly and easily discern the unique information contained in each document. | 12-30-2010 |
