Bilingual terminology extraction: an approach based on a multilingual thesaurus applicable to comparable corpora
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents several methods for exploiting multiple resources in bilingual lexicon extraction, either from parallel or comparable corpora. First, a special attention is given to the use of multilingual thesauri, and different search strategies based on such thesauri are investigated. Then, a method to optimally combine the different resources for bilingual lexicon extraction is presented. Our results show that the combination of the resources significantly improves results, and that the use of the hierarchical information contained in our thesaurus, UMLS/MeSH, is of primary importance. Lastly, methods for bilingual terminology extraction and thesaurus enrichment

An Approach Based on Multilingual Thesauri and Model Combination for Bilingual Lexicon Extraction
This paper focuses on exploiting different models and methods in bilingual lexicon extraction, either from parallel or comparable corpora, in specialized domains. First, a special attention is given to the use of multilingual thesauri, and different search strategies based on such thesauri are investigated. Then, a method to combine the different models for bilingual lexicon extraction is prese...
متن کاملAutomatic processing of multilingual medical terminology: applications to thesaurus enrichment and cross-language information retrieval
OBJECTIVES We present in this article experiments on multi-language information extraction and access in the medical domain. For such applications, multilingual terminology plays a crucial role when working on specialized languages and specific domains. MATERIAL AND METHODS We propose firstly a method for enriching multilingual thesauri which extracts new terms from parallel corpora, and seco...
متن کاملExtracting bilingual terminologies from comparable corpora
In this paper we present a method for extracting bilingual terminologies from comparable corpora. In our approach we treat bilingual term extraction as a classification problem. For classification we use an SVM binary classifier and training data taken from the EUROVOC thesaurus. We test our approach on a held-out test set from EUROVOC and perform precision, recall and f-measure evaluations for...
متن کاملBuilding bilingual terminologies from comparable corpora: the TTC TermSuite
In this paper, we exploit domain-specific comparable corpora to build bilingual terminologies. We present the monolingual term extraction and the bilingual alignment that will allow us to identify and translate high specialised terminology. We stress the huge importance of taking into account both simple and complex terms in a multilingual environment. Such linguistic diversity implies to combi...
متن کاملExploiting a Multilingual Web-based Encyclopedia for Bilingual Terminology Extraction
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 being explored as well. This article seeks to explore and to exploit the idea of using multilingual web-based encyclopedias such as Wikipedia as comparable corpora for bilingual terminology e...
