Automatic Bilingual Lexicon Acquisition Using Random Indexing of Aligned Bilingual Data
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a very simple and effective approach to automatic bilingual lexicon acquisition. The approach is cooccurrence-based, and uses the Random Indexing vector space methodology applied to aligned bilingual data. The approach is simple, efficient and scalable, and generate promising results when compared to a manually compiled lexicon. The paper also discusses some of the methodological problems with the prefered evaluation procedure.

Dynamic Lexica for Query Translation
This experiment tests a simple, scalable, and effective approach to building a domain-specific translation lexicon using distributional statistics over parallellized bilingual corpora. A bilingual lexicon is extracted from aligned Swedish-French data, used to translate CLEF topics from Swedish to French, which resulting French queries are then in turn used to retrieve documents from the French ...
متن کاملEnglish-Japanese Cross-lingual Query Expansion Using Random Indexing of Aligned Bilingual Text Data
Vector space models can be used for extracting semantically similar words from the co-occurrence statistics of words in large text data. In this paper, we report on our NTCIR 2002 experiments using the Random Indexing vector space method for extracting an English-Japanese cross-lingual thesaurus from aligned English-Japanese bilingual data. The crosslingual thesaurus has been used for automatic...
متن کاملToward a Bilingual Legal Term Glossary from Context Profiles
We propose an algorithm for the automatic acquisition of a bilingual lexicon in the legal domain. We make use of a parallel corpus of bilingual court judgments, aligned to the sentence level, and analyse the bilingual context profiles to extract corresponding legal terms in both languages. Our method is different from those in past studies as it does not require any prior knowledge source, and ...
متن کاملData-driven Amharic-English Bilingual Lexicon Acquisition
This paper describes a simple approach of statistical language modelling for bilingual lexicon acquisition from Amharic-English parallel corpora. The goal is to induce a seed translation lexicon from sentence-aligned corpora. The seed translation lexicon contains matches of Amharic lexemes to weekly inflected English words. Purely statistical measures of term distribution are used as the basis ...
متن کاملAutomatic bilingual lexicon acquisition using random indexing of parallel corpora
This paper presents a very simple and effective approach to using parallel corpora for automatic bilingual lexicon acquisition. The approach, which uses the Random Indexing vector space methodology, is based on finding correlations between terms based on their distributional characteristics. The approach requires a minimum of preprocessing and linguistic knowledge, and is efficient, fast and sc...
