Finding Terminology Translations from Non-parallel Corpora
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a statistical word feature, the Word Relation Matrix, which can be used to find translated pairs of words and terms from non-parallel corpora, across language groups. Online dictionary entries are used as seed words to generate Word Relation Matrices for the unknown words according to correlation measures. Word Relation Matrices are then mapped across the corpora to find translation pairs. Translation accuracies are around 30% when only the top candidate is counted. Nevertheless, top 20 candidate output give a 50.9% average increase in accuracy on human translator performance.

Mining for Term Translations in Comparable Corpora
This paper presents the techniques currently developed at RACAI for extracting parallel terminology from the comparable collection of Romanian and English documents collected in the ACCURAT project. Apart from being used for enriching translation models, parallel terminology can be (and very often is) a goal in itself, since such resources can be used for building dictionaries or indexing techn...
متن کاملTerminology in the age of multilingual corpora
Terminology management has long played an important role in translation and localisation. It has been asserted, however, that the need for terminology management is declining with the rise of widely accessible aligned multilingual corpora, such as bitexts. In this view, translators will be able to identify terms and their translations by using previous translations to automatically identify the...
متن کاملاستخراج پیکره موازی از اسناد قابل‌مقایسه برای بهبود کیفیت ترجمه در سیستم‌های ترجمه ماشینی
Data used for training statistical machine translation method are usually prepared from three resources: parallel, non-parallel and comparable text corpora. Parallel corpora are an ideal resource for translation but due to lack of these kinds of texts, non-parallel and comparable corpora are used either for parallel text extraction. Most of existing methods for exploiting comparable corpora loo...
متن کاملAn Approach to Acquire Word Translations from Non-parallel Texts
Few approaches to extract word translations from non-parallel texts have been proposed so far. Researchers have not been encouraged to work on this topic because extracting information from non-parallel corpora is a difficult task producing poor results. Whereas for parallel texts, word translation extraction can reach about 99%, the accuracy for non-parallel texts has been around 72% up to now...
متن کاملBeyond Translation Memories: finding similar documents in comparable corpora
This paper presents our most recent research in the context of TTC, an EU funded research project, on using the Web to retrieve terminologically rich texts in a specific domain, and to find similar documents in such comparable corpora. The aim of this work is to provide tools for semi-automatic construction of bilingual term lists. 1 Parallel and comparable corpora Re-use of existing translatio...
