(Microsoft Corp.)(Asian Innovation Awards)?
Microsoft Corp. researchers in Beijing are using data mined from the Web to enhance an online Chinese-English dictionary and language-practice service, a technique that could one day be used in similar tools for anyone learning any language.
Engkoo, at www.engkoo.com, is written in Chinese with two characters meaning ‘English’ and ‘vault.’ It has a core of professionally produced translation data that Microsoft draws from sources such as existing dictionaries, which are used under licenses from their publishers. In Engkoo’s database, that content is mixed with data that Microsoft finds through other means, including sweeping the Web for sites with parallel Chinese and English versions. Microsoft machines align the two websites — followed by their paragraphs, sentences and individual words — then assign a quality ranking to the resulting translation and file it away. Engkoo is a finalist in this year’s Asian Innovation Awards.
