Abstract

AbstractMultiWord Expressions (MWEs) repesent a key issue for numerous applications in Natural Language Processing (NLP) especially for Machine Translation (MT). In this paper, we describe a strategy for detecting translation pairs of MWEs in a French-English parallel corpus. In addition we introduce three methods aiming to integrate extracted bilingual MWE S in M OSES, a phrase based Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) system. We experimentally show that these textual units can improve translation quality.
