Deriving a bi-lingual dictionary from raw transcription data

Synset Assignment for Bi-lingual Dictionary with Limited Resource

This paper explores an automatic WordNet synset assignment to the bi-lingual dictionaries of languages having limited lexicon information. Generally, a term in a bilingual dictionary is provided with very limited information such as part-of-speech, a set of synonyms, and a set of English equivalents. This type of dictionary is comparatively reliable and can be found in an electronic form from v...

Creating bilingual lexica using reference wordlists for alignment of monolingual semantic vector spaces

This paper proposes a novel method for automatically acquiring multilingual lexica from non-parallel data and reports some initial experiments to prove the viability of the approach. Using established techniques for building mono-lingual vector spaces two independent semantic vector spaces are built from textual data. These vector spaces are related to each other using a small reference word li...

Comparing Multiple Methods for Japanese and Japanese-English Text Retrieval

The NACSIS collection of Japanese scienti c documents (with English titles) provides a solid foundation for information retrieval research into 1) segmentation methods for Japanese text, 2) e ective methods for monolingual Japanese retrieval, and 3) JapaneseEnglish cross-language retrieval. This paper compares multiple methods for Japanese and Japanese-English text retrieval. Our focus is on ac...

Dictionary acquisition using parallel text and co-occurrence statistics

We present a simple and efficient approach for deriving bilingual dictionaries from sentence-aligned parallel text by extending the notion of co-occurrences to a cross-lingual setting. Dictionaries are evaluated against gold standards and manually; the analysis accounts for frequency and corpus size effects.
