SWAT: Cross-Lingual Lexical Substitution using Local Context Matching, Bilingual Dictionaries and Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present two systems that select the most appropriate Spanish substitutes for a marked word in an English test sentence. These systems were official entries to the SemEval-2010 Cross-Lingual Lexical Substitution task. The first system, SWAT-E, finds Spanish substitutions by first finding English substitutions in the English sentence and then translating these substitutions into Spanish using an English-Spanish dictionary. The second system, SWAT-S, translates each English sentence into Spanish and then finds the Spanish substitutions in the Spanish sentence. Both systems exceeded the baseline and all other participating systems by a wide margin using one of the two official scoring metrics.

This paper presents the participation of the University of Bari (UBA) at the SemEval2010 Cross-Lingual Lexical Substitution Task. The goal of the task is to substitute a word in a language Ls, which occurs in a particular context, by providing the best synonyms in a different language Lt which fit in that context. This task has a strict relation with the task of automatic machine translation, b...
متن کاملCombining Dictionaries and Contextual Information for Cross-Lingual Lexical Substitution
We describe two systems participating in Semeval-2010’s Cross-Lingual Lexical Substitution task: USPwlv and WLVusp. Both systems are based on two main components: (i) a dictionary to provide a number of possible translations for each source word, and (ii) a contextual model to select the best translation according to the context where the source word occurs. These components and the way they ar...

In this paper we apply distributional semantic information to document-level machine translation. We train monolingual and bilingual word vector models on large corpora and we evaluate them first in a cross-lingual lexical substitution task and then on the final translation task. For translation, we incorporate the semantic information in a statistical document-level decoder (Docent), by enforc...

An inexpensive COTS translation package, augmented with a downloadable bilingual dictionary, was employed for a study of English-Chinese cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) using the query translation approach. The experimental setting involved the 170 MB Chinese collections and 54 queries of TREC and their relevance judgment, and our PIRCS bi-lingual retrieval system. With some standar...

Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is considered one of the most important problems in Natural Language Processing [1]. It is claimed that WSD is essential for those applications that require of language comprehension modules such as search engines, machine translation systems, automatic answer machines, second life agents, etc. Moreover, with the huge amounts of information in Internet and the fa...
