Anchor points for bilingual lexicon extraction from small comparable corpora
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the contribution of reliable elements in French– and English–Japanese alignment from comparable corpora, using transliterated elements and scientific compounds as anchor points among context-vectors of elements to align. We highlight those elements in context-vector normalisation to give them a higher priority in context-vector comparison. We carry out experiments on small comparable corpora to show that those elements can efficiently be used to improve the quality of the alignment.

Anchor points for bilingual extraction from small specialized comparable corpora
Research on bilingual lexicon extraction from comparable corpora leads to promising results using large corpora (hundreds of billions of words) using the direct alignment method. However, when using smaller corpora (hundreds of thousands of words), results obtained are slightly lower. We propose to introduce some anchor points on which we can rely for the alignment process using the direct appr...
متن کاملWord Co-occurrence Counts Prediction for Bilingual Terminology Extraction from Comparable Corpora
Methods dealing with bilingual lexicon extraction from comparable corpora are often based on word co-occurrence observation and are by essence more effective when using large corpora. In most cases, specialized comparable corpora are of small size, and this particularity has a direct impact on bilingual terminology extraction results. In order to overcome insufficient data coverage and to make ...
متن کاملBilingual Word Embeddings for Bilingual Terminology Extraction from Specialized Comparable Corpora
Bilingual lexicon extraction from comparable corpora is constrained by the small amount of available data when dealing with specialized domains. This aspect penalizes the performance of distributionalbased approaches, which is closely related to the reliability of word’s cooccurrence counts extracted from comparable corpora. A solution to avoid this limitation is to associate external resources...
متن کاملTowards a Generic Approach for Bilingual Lexicon Extraction from Comparable Corpora
This paper presents an approach that extends the standard approach used for bilingual lexicon extraction from comparable corpora. We focus on the problem associated to polysemous words found in the seed bilingual lexicon when translating source context vectors. To improve the adequacy of context vectors, the use of a WordNetbased Word Sense Disambiguation process is tested. Experimental results...
متن کاملImproving Corpus Comparability for Bilingual Lexicon Extraction from Comparable Corpora
Previous work on bilingual lexicon extraction from comparable corpora aimed at finding a good representation for the usage patterns of source and target words and at comparing these patterns efficiently. In this paper, we try to work it out in another way: improving the quality of the comparable corpus from which the bilingual lexicon has to be extracted. To do so, we propose a measure of compa...
