Foreign Name Backward Transliteration in Chinese-English Cross-Language Image Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we proposed an approach to deal with the Chinese-English cross-language image retrieval problem. Text-based image retrieval and query translation were adopted in the experiments. A similarity-based backward transliteration model with candidate filter was proposed to translate the proper nouns. The experimental results showed that using similarity-based backward transliteration increased the retrieval performances.

Chinese-to-English Backward Machine Transliteration
It is challenging to transliterate named entities across languages. It is even more challenging to backward transliterate the transliterated term into its original form. This paper addresses the problem of backward translating person name from Chinese to its English counterpart. We propose a statistical backward transliteration method. Our method uses English sub-syllable and Chinese syllable a...

This paper classifies the problem of machine transliteration into four types, i.e., forward/backward transliteration between same/different character sets, based on transliteration direction and character sets. A phoneme-based similarity measure is proposed to deal with backward transliteration between different character sets. Chinese-English information retrieval is taken as an example. The e...
متن کاملExtracting English-Korean Transliteration Equivalence from Domain-Specific Dictionaries
Automatic translation knowledge acquisition or automatic bilingual dictionary construction has become an important first step for natural language applications such as machine translation and cross-language information retrieval. Transliterations are used to translate proper names and technical terms especially from languages in Roman alphabets to languages in non-Roman alphabets such as from E...
متن کاملPhoneme-Based Transliteration of Foreign Names for OOV Problem
One problem seriously affecting CLIR performance is the processing of queries with embedded foreign names. A proper noun dictionary is never complete rendering name translation from English to Chinese ineffective. One way to solve this problem is not to rely on a dictionary alone but to adopt automatic translation according to pronunciation similarities, i.e. to map phonemes comprising an Engli...
متن کاملPhoneme-based Statistical Transliteration of Foreign Names for OOV Problem
Given a source language term, machine transliteration is to automatically generate the phonetic equivalents in a target language. It is useful in many cross language applications. Recently, there are increasing concerns about automatic transliteration, especially with languages with significant distinctions in their phonetic representations, e.g. English and Chinese. Despite many cross-language...
