Computer-aided analysis of multilingual patent documentation

This paper deals with the processing of a multilingual corpus of technical texts. The aim is to extract special purpose terminology. A semi-automatic tool is developed to help professional translators and terminologists not only to identify technical terms but also to detect possible translation equivalences and typical contexts of terms.

In this paper we present extraction of hyponymy lexical relations conducted on patent text using lexico-syntactic patterns. We explore the lexico-syn...
