In one embodiment, a translator quality assurance system may rate a translation using a mapping chart. A data interfacemay access a translation dictionary matching a source language to a target language. A processormay map automatically a sentence pair having a source sentencein a source language and a target sentencein a target language at a linguistic level using the translation dictionary. A user output devicemay display a translation quality report of the target sentence

Phrase-based dictionary extraction and translation quality evaluation

Various embodiments provide a set of algorithms and scripts, e.g., SQL scripts, to perform automatic horizontal table and index partitioning that allows overlapping of data records, used in full-text search queries. In at least some embodiments, table creation and populating script is utilized to create a set of smaller tables partitioned by one column. In at least some embodiments, SELECT query modification script is provided to generate a query that works on the partitioned tables to achieve better performance. In at least some other embodiments, other query creation script is provided to modify the INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE queries for the original large table to automatically keep these queries synchronized with partitioned tables.

Database table partitioning allowing overlaps used in full text query

Input text may be broken into sentence, or other types of segments, by first detecting exceptions in the input text, and then detecting break positions. Given a segment breaking scheme that comprises a set of break rules and a set of exceptions, a regular expression is created that represents the break rules, and another regular expression is created that represents the exceptions. The input text is analyzed to identify strings that match any exception, and the matching strings are substituted with placeholders that are not likely to occur naturally in the input. The resulting text, with substitutions, is then evaluated to find the positions in the text that match the break rules. Those positions are declared to be segment breaks, and the placeholders are then replaced with the original strings. The result is the original text, with breaks assigned to the appropriate positions in the text.
