Acquiring Compound Word Translations both Automatically and Dynamically
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of compound word translation and proposes the approaches to acquiring translations. The proposed approaches focus on exploring web data and utilizing English translations to link words of the source language and the correspondences in the target language. The paper uses Japanese-Chinese language pairs for the sake of illustration and shows initial experimental results. The proposed method is language-independent and therefore can be applied to other language pairs.

An Evaluation of the Translation of Antagonyms in the Quran
Homonymy is found in a significant portion of the single words used the Quran. One of the subsets of homonymy is related to antagonyms, which have two opposite meanings, such as the word 'asas'. The remarkable point about these words is that their meanings can be understood using such criteria as Quranic verses, narrations, dictionaries and commentaries. After acquiring the meanings of such wor...
متن کاملDescriptive Semantics of the Nominal Hapax Legomenon of the Word Menhaj and the Pathology of its Three Translations (Meybodi, Makarem Shirazi and Ansarian)
Understanding the Quran depends upon appreciating meanings of the single words and concepts that are interconnected and interrelated like a chain. Nominal hapax legomenon in the Quran is a word that occurs only once in the holy Quran. Hence, such words need semantic scrutiny since they are difficult to understand. Accordingly, understanding hapax legomenons calls for examining and identifying t...
متن کاملAutomatic Validation of Terminology Translation Consistency with Statistical Method
This paper presents a novel method to automatically validate terminology consistency in localized materials. The goal of the paper is two-fold. First, we explore a way to extract phrase pair translations for compound nouns from a bilingual corpus using word alignment data. To validate the quality of the extracted phrase pair translations, we use a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) classifier. Second...
متن کاملImproved Word Alignments Using the Web as a Corpus
We propose a novel method for improving word alignments in a parallel sentence-aligned bilingual corpus based on the idea that if two words are translations of each other then so should be many words in their local contexts. The idea is formalised using the Web as a corpus, a glossary of known word translations (dynamically augmented from the Web using bootstrapping), the vector space model, li...
متن کاملAligning More Words with High Precision for Small Bilingual Corpora
In this paper, we propose an algorithm for identifying each word with its translations in a sentence and translation pair. Previously proposed methods require enormous amounts of bilingual data to train statistical word-by-word translation models. By taking a word-based approach, these methods align frequent words with consistent translations at a high precision rate. However, less frequent wor...
