Patent translation within the MOLTO project

Abstract

MOLTO is an FP7 European project whose goal is to translate texts between multiple languages in real time with high quality. Patents translation is a case of study where research is focused on simultaneously obtaining a large coverage without loosing quality in the translation. This is achieved by hybridising between a grammar-based multilingual translation system, GF, and a specialised statistical machine translation system. Moreover, both individual systems by themselves already represent a step forward in the translation of patents in the biomedical domain, for which the systems have been trained.
