Automated Dictionary Extraction for \Knowledge-Free" Example-Based Translation

نویسنده

  • Ralf D. Brown
چکیده

An Example-Based Machine Translation system is supplied with a sentencealigned bilingual corpus, but no other knowledge sources. Using the knowledge implicit in the corpus, it generates a bilingual word-for-word dictionary for alignment during translation. With such an automatically-generated dictionary, the system covers (with equivalent quality) more of its input on unseen texts than the same system does when provided with a manually-created general-purpose dictionary and other knowledge sources.

Combinatory Examples Extraction for Machine Translation

One of the bottlenecks of example-based machine translation (EBMT) is to be able to amass automatically quantities of good examples. In our work in EBMT, we are investigating how far one can go by performing example extraction from parallel corpora using Probabilistic Translation Dictionaries to obtain example segmentation points. In fact, the success of EBMT highly depends on examples quality ...

Translingual Information Retrieval: Learning from Bilingual Corpora

Translingual information retrieval (TLIR) consists of providing a query in one language and searching document collections in one or more diierent languages. This paper introduces new TLIR methods and reports on comparative TLIR experiments with these new methods and with previously reported ones in a realistic setting. Methods fall into two categories: query translation and statistical-IR appr...

Intelligent audit code generation from free text in the context of neurosurgery

Clinical auditing requires codified data for aggregation and analysis of patterns. However in the medical domain obtaining structured data can be difficult as the most natural, expressive and comprehensive way to record a clinical encounter is through natural language. The task of creating structured data from naturally expressed information is known as information extraction. Specialised areas...

Automated Generalization of Translation Examples

Previous work has shown that adding generalization of the examples in the corpus of an example-based machine translation (EBMT) system can reduce the required amount of pretranslated example text by as much as an order of magnitude for Spanish-English and FrenchEnglish EBMT. Using word clustering to automatically generalize the example corpus can provide the majority of this improvement for Fre...

Web-Based Query Translation for English-Chinese CLIR

Dictionary-based translation is a traditional approach in use by cross-language information retrieval systems. However, significant performance degradation is often observed when queries contain words that do not appear in the dictionary. This is called the Out of Vocabulary (OOV) problem. In recent years, Web mining has been shown to be one of the effective approaches for solving this problem....
