| Abstract(in English) | In this paper, we report about knowledge acquisition of paraphrasing katakana words adopted from English for improving readability. Recently, the problem of using difficult katakana words in public documents has been drawing much attention. Mostly these words are from English. Moreover, they often have synonyms in Japanese. However, it is impossible to obtain rules manually because of time and effort. Therefore, we propose a method of paraphrasing katakana to Japanese words automatically. Experimental results show that recall 82.8% and precision 81.1% are attained for English words restoration, recall 14.6% and precision 70.8% are attained for acquisition of paraphrasing. |
