Methods are described for translation of one or more words in a source language into a target language based on context, history and meaning of portions of the source text. Translation may involve selection of electronic dictionaries when translating from a source language to one or more target languages. Various aspects of history, context and structures of words that reflect lexical, morphological, syntactic, and semantic properties facilitate selection or presentation of translations and options to a user. The methods are applicable to genre classification, topic detection, news analysis, authorship analysis, internet searches, and creating corpora for other tasks, etc.

Translation and dictionary selection by context

Disclosed are systems, computer-readable mediums, and methods for providing a meaning of an entry in a text is described. A lexico-morphological analysis is performed on the text. A syntactical analysis is performed on the text. A semantic analysis is performed on the text. A syntactical structure and a semantic structure for the entry is chosen. One or more syntactic links between each alternative meaning of words in proximity to the entry is determined. A weight is determined. One or more semantic links between each word in proximity to the entry are determined. For each semantic link, a weight associated with each semantic link is determined; and based on the weights associated with each semantic and syntactic link, determining meaning of the entry.

Finding an appropriate meaning of an entry in a text

A method comprising a preliminary automated analysis of at least one corpus of natural language text is disclosed. For each sentence of a corpus, the method includes performing a syntactic analysis using linguistic descriptions to generate at least one syntactic structure for the sentence, building a semantic structure for the sentence, associating each generated syntactic and semantic structure with the sentence, and saving each structure. For each corpus text that was preliminary analyzed, performing an indexing operation to index lexical meanings and values of linguistic parameters of each syntactic structure and each semantic structure associated with sentences in the corpus text. A semantic search includes at least one automatic preliminary analyzed corpus of sentences comprising searched values of linguistic, syntactic and semantic parameters. Due to a deep semantic analysis of a corpus, the search may be executed in various languages, in resources of various languages, and in the text of corpora of various languages regardless of the language of the query.

Method and system for semantic searching

In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for a system to provide information based on a query, the method comprising: performing a first search of at least one first source for information responsive to the query; providing a result of the search to a user; searching documents using at least a part of the result of the search; providing the user with at least one example of usage of the result of the search obtained from the searching of stored documents; based on user input, performing a second search of at least one second source for information responsive to the query; and providing a result of said second search to the user.

Method and system for downloading additional search results into electronic dictionaries

In one embodiment, the invention provides a method, comprising: receiving a query from a user computer device; determining what custom messages are applicable based on the query; and delivering any applicable custom messages to the user computer device. The messages may be selected and customized based on a customization control parameter. In one embodiment, the customization control parameter may include the interface language, the regional settings, and the version of the product. Advantageously, trial versions of dictionaries may have different messages from paid or non-trial versions. For example, for the trial versions, a warning message will be sent informing the user that the trial period is about to expire. Additionally, the server device has the capability to detect whether the version used by a user is bootleg or not, and send customized messages to users of bootleg versions.

Method and system of using information banners to communicate with users of electronic dictionaries

In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for a system to provide information based on a query, the method comprising: performing a first search of at least one first source for information responsive to the query; providing a result of said search to a user; based on user input, performing a second search of at least one second source for information responsive to the query; and providing a result of said second search to the user.
