In traditional parsing approaches, the parsing procedure is performed on one-level and the ...

We present a new approach to aligning sentences in bilingual parallel corpora based on punctuation, especially for English and Chinese. Although the length-based approach produces high accuracy rates of sentence alignment for clean parallel corpora written in two Western languages, such as French-English or German-English, it does not work as well for parallel corpora that are noisy or written ...
