Abstract

To retrieve an optimum template pattern in response to an input sentence, a set of templates is arranged in a plurality of template blocks containing an arbitrary number of sentence components, including grammatically correct and/or incorrect components. A score is assigned to every word in the set of templates according to its importance. The candidate template patterns and the input sentence are retrieved, the scores of the matched words are calculated, and the total of the scores of the entire paths are calculated. Optimum level comparison values are then calculated using the score of the matching words as the numerator and the total score as the denominator. The candidate template pattern having the largest optimum level comparison value among optimum level comparison values that provide the largest numerator, is selected as the optimum template pattern. The input sentence is then corrected using this optimum template pattern.
