Translate Chinese organization names using examples and web

This paper proposes a new approach for translating Chinese organization names that uses example-based method along with Web assistance. It consists of two phases, first, it generates a translation candidate for the input Chinese organization name by an example-based translation method; and secondly, it uses the Web to amend this translation candidate so as to finish such tasks: translation candidate reordering, word selection revising, and adjustment of the use of function words. Experimental results show that our method outperforms competing traditional statistical translation method in the task of translating Chinese ONs.
