Japanese-Chinese Phrase Alignment Using Common Chinese Characters Information

We describe a method to detect common Chinese characters between Japanese and Chinese automatically by means of freely available resources and verify the effectiveness of the detecting method. We use a joint phrase alignment model on dependency trees and report results of experiments aimed at improving the alignment quality between Japanese and Chinese by incorporating the common Chinese charac...
