Learning Spanish-Galician Translation Equivalents Using a Comparable Corpus and a Bilingual Dictionary

چکیده
So far, research on extraction of translation equivalents from comparable, non-parallel corpora has not been very popular. The main reason was the poor results when compared to those obtained from aligned parallel corpora. The method proposed in this paper, relying on seed patterns generated from external bilingual dictionaries, allows us to achieve similar results to those from parallel corpus. In this way, the huge amount of comparable corpora available via Web can be viewed as a never-ending source of lexicographic information. In this paper, we describe the experiments performed on a comparable, Spanish-Galician corpus.

Adapted Seed Lexicon and Combined Bidirectional Similarity Measures for Translation Equivalent Extraction from Comparable Corpora
An improved method for extracting translation equivalents from bilingual comparable corpora according to contextual similarity was developed. This method has two main features. First, a seed bilingual lexiconwhich is used to bridge contexts in different languagesis adapted to the corpora from which translation equivalents are to be extracted. Second, the contextual similarity is evaluated by ...
متن کاملWord Sense Acquisition from Bilingual Comparable Corpora
Manually constructing an inventory of word senses has suffered from problems including high cost, arbitrary assignment of meaning to words, and mismatch to domains. To overcome these problems, we propose a method to assign word meaning from a bilingual comparable corpus and a bilingual dictionary. It clusters second-language translation equivalents of a first-language target word on the basis o...
متن کاملTowards producing bilingual lexica from monolingual corpora
Bilingual lexica are the basis for many cross-lingual natural language processing tasks. Recent works have shown success in learning bilingual dictionary by taking advantages of comparable corpora and a diverse set of signals derived from monolingual corpora. In the present work, we describe an approach to automatically learn bilingual lexica by training a supervised classifier using word embed...
متن کاملBilingual-Dictionary Adaptation to Domains
Two methods using comparable corpora to select translation equivalents appropriate to a domain were devised and evaluated. The first method ranks translation equivalents of a target word according to similarity of their contexts to that of the target word. The second method ranks translation equivalents according to the ratio of associated words that suggest them. An experiment using the EDR bi...
