Integrating Bilingual Lexicons in a Probabilistic Translation Assistant
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract In this paper, we present a way to integrate bilingual lexicons into an operational probabilistic translation assistant (TransType). These lexicons could be any resource available to the translator (e.g. terminological lexicons) or any resource statistically derived from training material. We describe a bilingual lexicon acquisition process that we developped and we evaluate from a theoretical point of view its benefits to a translation completion task.

Stochastic Language Models for Automatic Acquisition of Lexicons from Printed Bilingual Dictionaries
Electronic bilingual lexicons are crucial for machine translation, cross-lingual information retrieval and speech recognition. For low-density languages, however, the availability of electronic bilingual lexicons is questionable. One solution is to acquire electronic lexicons from printed bilingual dictionaries. While manual data entry is a possibility, automatic acquisition of lexicons from sc...
متن کاملBuilding Multiword Expressions Bilingual Lexicons for Domain Adaptation of an Example-Based Machine Translation System
We describe in this paper a hybrid approach to build automatically bilingual lexicons of Multiword Expressions (MWEs) from parallel corpora. We more specifically investigate the impact of using a domain-specific bilingual lexicon of MWEs on domain adaptation of an Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT) system. We conducted experiments on the English-French language pair and two kinds of texts...
متن کاملUsing Transliteration of Proper Names from Arabic to Latin Script to Improve English-Arabic Word Alignment
Bilingual lexicons of proper names play a vital role in machine translation and cross-language information retrieval. Word alignment approaches are generally used to construct bilingual lexicons automatically from parallel corpora. Aligning proper names is a task particularly difficult when the source and target languages of the parallel corpus do not share a same written script. We present in ...
متن کاملEFL Translation Students' Perspective toward Using Bilingual Dictionary in Translation of Polysemous Words
This research presented the use of bilingual dictionary and addressed the EFL translation students' points of view on the use of bilingual dictionary in translating polysemous words (English to Persian). Moreo- ver, it aimed at finding the possible relationship between the effect of using bilingual dictionary by stu- dents in translating polysemous words and their achieved scores. In the study ...
متن کاملBuilding Bilingual Lexicons using Lexical Translation Probabilities via Pivot Languages
This paper proposes a method of increasing the size of a bilingual lexicon obtained from two other bilingual lexicons via a pivot language. When we apply this approach, there are two main challenges, ambiguity and mismatch of terms; we target the latter problem by improving the utilization ratio of the bilingual lexicons. Given two bilingual lexicons between language pairs Lf –Lp and Lp–Le, we ...
