Linguistically-Based Sub-Sentential Alignment for Terminology Extraction from a Bilingual Automotive Corpus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a sub-sentential alignment system that links linguistically motivated phrases in parallel texts based on lexical correspondences and syntactic similarity. We compare the performance of our subsentential alignment system with different symmetrization heuristics that combine the GIZA++ alignments of both translation directions. We demonstrate that the aligned linguistically motivated phrases are a useful means to extract bilingual terminology and more specifically complex multiword terms.

Language-Independent Bilingual Terminology Extraction from a Multilingual Parallel Corpus
We present a language-pair independent terminology extraction module that is based on a sub-sentential alignment system that links linguistically motivated phrases in parallel texts. Statistical filters are applied on the bilingual list of candidate terms that is extracted from the alignment output. We compare the performance of both the alignment and terminology extraction module for three dif...
متن کاملTowards a Closer Integration of Termbases, Translation Memories, and Parallel Corpora: -A Translation-Oriented View-
This paper takes a look at how the use of terminological information and bilingual corpora of previously translated texts can improve the performance of translation memories. The focus is on using terminology to support sub-sentential alignment. The author tries to show that the performance of translation memories will not benefit significantly from generalizing the units stored in the memory b...
متن کاملSimple methods for dealing with term variation and term alignment
In this paper, we deal with bilingual terminology extraction from comparable corpora. The extraction can be seen as a pipeline of processing steps. We will discuss grouping of term variants and describe two methods for bilingual term alignment of neoclassical terms: a knowledge-poor approach using string similarity measures and a linguistically motivated approach which is extended to cover Germ...
متن کاملAligning linguistically motivated phrases
In this paper, we describe the architecture of a sub-sentential alignment system that links linguistically motivated phrases in parallel texts. We conceive our sub-sentential aligner as a cascade model consisting of two phases. In the first phase, anchor chunks are linked on the basis of lexical correspondences and syntactic similarity. In the second phase, we will focus on the more complex tra...
متن کاملAn Efficient Framework to Extract Parallel Units from Comparable Data
Since the quality of statistical machine translation (SMT) is heavily dependent upon the size and quality of training data, many approaches have been proposed for automatically mining bilingual text from comparable corpora. However, the existing solutions are restricted to extract either bilingual sentences or sub-sentential fragments. Instead, we present an efficient framework to extract both ...
