ComparableCorpora

Two methods using comparable corpora to se- lect translation equivalents appropriate to a do- main were devised and evaluated. The first method ranks translation equivalents of a target word according …...

New words such as names, technical terms, etc appear frequently. As such, the bilingual lexicon of a machine translation system has to be constantly updated with these new word translations. …...

. This article presents a method of extracting bilingual lexica composed of single-word terms (SWTs) and multi-word terms (MWTs) from comparable corpora of a technical domain. First, this method ex- …...

. Current work in terminology mining from corpora tends to favour corpus size over corpus quality. Concerning multilingual lexical acquisition from comparable corpora, the best results are obtained on large …...

We propose a method for compiling bi- lingual terminologies of multi-word terms (MWTs) for given translation pairs of seed terms. Traditional methods for bi- lingual terminology compilation exploit parallel texts, …...

This paper presents an approach for Mul- tilingual Document Clustering in compa- rable corpora. The algorithm is of heuris- tic nature and it uses as unique evidence for clustering the …...

In this paper we investigate Chinese- English name transliteration using compa- rable corpora, corpora where texts in the two languages deal in some of the same topics — and therefore …...

In this paper we investigate unsuper- vised name transliteration using compara- ble corpora, corpora where texts in the two languages deal in some of the same top- ics — and …...

This paper describes the development of several machine translation systems for the 2009 WMT shared task evaluation. We only consider the translation between French and English. We describe a sta- …...

AbstractWe describe ScriptTranscriber, an open source toolkit for extracting transliterations in comparable corpora from languages written in different scripts. The system includes various methods for extracting potential terms of interest …...

This paper 1 presents an empirical ap- proach to mining parallel corpora. Con- ventional approaches use a readily available collection of comparable, non- parallel corpora to extract parallel sen- tences. …...

. Multilingual linguistic resources are usually constructed from parallel corpora, but since these corpora are available only for selected text domains and language pairs, the potential of other resources is …...

This paper describes the development of French–English and English–French ma- chine translation systems for the 2010 WMT shared task evaluation. These sys- tems were standard phrase-based statisti- cal systems based …...

In cross-language information retrieval it is often important to align words that are similar in meaning in two corpora writ- ten in different languages. Previous re- search shows that using …...

In this paper we present a knowledge-light approach to extract a bilingual lexicon for closely related languages from compara- ble corpora. While in most related work an existing dictionary is …...

This paper describes efforts towards the development of an Arabic to Italian SMT system for the news domain. Since only very little parallel data are available for this language pair, …...

AbstractStatistical Machine Translation (SMT) relies on the availability of rich parallel corpora. However, in the case of under-resourced languages, parallel corpora are not readily available. To overcome this problem previous …...

Bilingual lexicon construction (BLC) from comparable corpora is based on the idea that bilingual similar words tend to occur in similar contexts, usually of words. This, however, introduces noise and …...

This paper presents a fast and accurate parallel sentence mining algorithm for comparable corpora called LEXACC based on the Cross-Language Infor- mation Retrieval framework combined with a trainable translation similarity …...

AbstractThe extraction of dictionaries from parallel text corpora is an established technique. However, as parallel corpora are a scarce resource, in recent years the extraction of dictionaries using comparable corpora …...

In this paper, we present a new method that improves the alignment of equivalent terms monolingually acquired from bilingual comparable corpora: the Compositional Method with Context-Based Projection (CMCBP). Our overall …...

Bilingual Lexicon Extraction from Comparable Corpora by Combining Contextual Repre- sentations Word’s context characterisation constitute the heart of most methods of bilingual lexicon extraction from comparable corpora. In this article, …...

Statistical machine translation (SMT) per- formance suffers when models are trained on only small amounts of parallel data. The learned models typically have both low accuracy (incorrect translations and feature …...

Identification, Alignment, and Tranlsation of Relational Adjectives from Comparable Corpora In this paper, we extract French relational adjectives and automatically align them with the nouns they are derived from by …...

Translation retrieval aims to find the most likely translation among a set of target-language strings for a given source-language string. Previous studies consider the single-best translation as a query for …...

In previous work we showed that when us- ing an SMT model trained on old-domain data to translate text in a new-domain, most errors are due to unseen source words, …...

This paper describes a corpus-based contrastive study of collocation in English and Chinese. In light of the corpus-based approach to identify functionally equivalent units, the present paper attempts to identify …...

AbstractIn this paper we describe our effort to create a dataset for the evaluation of cross-language textual similarity detection. We present preexisting corpora and their limits and we explain the …...

AbstractStatistical Machine Translation (SMT) relies on the availability of rich parallel corpora. However, in the case of under-resourced languages or some specific domains, parallel corpora are not readily available. This …...

AbstractComparable corpora are the main alternative to the use of parallel corpora to extract bilingual lexicons. Although it is easier to build comparable corpora, specialized comparable corpora are often of …...

AbstractThere is a rich flora of word space models that have proven their efficiency in many different applications including information retrieval (Dumais, 1988), word sense disambiguation (Schutze, 1992), various semantic …...

AbstractThis article describes the distributional strategy submitted by the Citius team to the SemEval 2017 Task 2. Even though the team participated in two subtasks, namely monolingual and cross-lingual word …...

Terms are notoriously difficult to identify, both automatically and manually. This complicates the evaluation of the already challenging task of automatic term extraction. With the advent of multilingual automatic term …...

Language Adaptation (similarly to Domain Adaptation) is a general approach to extend existing resources from a better resourced language (donor) to a lesser resourced one (recipient) by exploiting the lexical …...

AbstractParallel sentences provide semantically similar information which can vary on a given dimension, such as language or register. Parallel sentences with register variation (like expert and non-expert documents) can be …...

AbstractIn scientific and technical communication, multiword terms are the most frequent type of lexical units. Rendering them in another language is not an easy task due to their cognitive complexity, …...

AbstractThe past few years have seen the multiplication of studies on post-editese, following the massive adoption of post-editing in professional translation workflows. These studies mainly rely on the comparison of …...
