Estimating Bilingual Term Correspondences from Relevant Japanese-English News Articles

Reliable Measures for Aligning Japanese-English News Articles and Sentences

We have aligned Japanese and English news articles and sentences to make a large parallel corpus. We first used a method based on cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) to align the Japanese and English articles and then used a method based on dynamic programming (DP) matching to align the Japanese and English sentences in these articles. However, the results included many incorrect alignm...

Semi-automatic Compilation of Bilingual Lexicon Entries from Cross-Lingually Relevant News Articles on WWW News Sites

For the purpose of overcoming resource scarcity bottleneck in corpus-based translation knowledge acquisition research, this paper takes an approach of semi-automatically acquiring domain specific translation knowledge from the collection of bilingual news articles on WWW news sites. This paper presents results of applying standard co-occurrence frequency based techniques of estimating bilingual...

Integrating Cross-Lingually Relevant News Articles and Monolingual Web Documents in Bilingual Lexicon Acquisition

In the framework of bilingual lexicon acquisition from cross-lingually relevant news articles on the Web, it is relatively harder to reliably estimate bilingual term correspondences for low frequency terms. Considering such a situation, this paper proposes to complementarily use much larger monolingual Web documents collected by search engines, as a resource for reliably re-estimating bilingual...
