AAMT/Japio Special Interest Group on Patent Translation was established in 2003 as a research group of Asia-Pacific Association for Machine Translation (AAMT) which is commissioned from Japan Patent Information Organization (Japio) to improve patent translation quality. Along with eight meetings held a year to discuss machine translation quality improvement, we are extracting translation equivalents from bilingual corpora and automatic evaluation of patent translation. During the Machine Translation Summit which is held in the odd years, we became active in hosting the Patent Translation Workshops since 2005, and in the even years, we cooperate with China and Korea to hold the Patent Information Symposium. We are actively involved in research of machine translation technologies for patent translation.

AAMT/Japio特許翻訳研究会について
AAMT/Japio特許翻訳研究会は、一般財団法人日本特許情報機構(Japio)からの委託を受け、アジア太平洋機械翻訳協会(AAMT)の研究会として平成15(2003)年に発足しました。 以後、特許翻訳のさらなる精度向上や対訳用語の自動抽出、そして翻訳結果の自動評価に関する研究活動を行うとともに、奇数年に開催される機械翻訳サミットの際には2005年以降特許翻訳ワークショップを開催し、偶数年には中国や韓国と連携して特許情報シンポジウムを開催するなど、特許に関する機械翻訳技術の研究に日々取り組んでいます。
