Hosted by the Korean Intellectual Property Office and organized by the Korea Patent Information Center, this exhibition consists of a conference featuring domestic and international patent information experts' lectures, as well as an exhibition by patent information service companies. The event took place overt wo days at the Korea Science and Technology Convention Center in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
On the second day of the event, CEO Sun-ho Baek delivered a presentation on the topic "How Patent Translation Benefits from Hybrid Translation." He discussed the pros and cons of existing machine translation technologies used in patent translation and introduced the improvements made possible by Twigfarm’s hybrid translation approach.
Twigfarm is a company that provides AI-powered professional translation solutions using deep learning-based NLP technology. The company has gained recognition for its exceptional technological expertise and competitiveness in the field of AI machine translation through accolades such as winning the ‘IP Information Utilization Startup Competition’ organized by the Patent Office and earning prestigious domestic and international certifications, positioning itself alongside global leaders such as Google and Microsoft.
CEO Sun-ho Baek explained, "Traditional machine translation often provides a mechanical translation that lacks consideration for specific fields. In contrast, Twigfarm’s LETR hybrid translation system analyzes documents, extracts frequently used terms, and determines the most appropriate translations for different fields and terminologies. By applying terminology glossaries, we can achieve more accurate translations, compare various translation engines to provide superior results, and utilize quality control mechanisms to identify missing expressions and mistranslations, ultimately ensuring high-quality translations."
Furthermore, he emphasized, "The demand for high-quality translation services continues to grow, not only in the field of patents but also in various industries such as the booming content industry and the increasing trend of overseas expansion, Twigfarm will leverage its technical expertise and know-how to support global expansion in diverse fields."
