Aligning a Parallel English-Chinese Corpus Statistically with Lexical Criteria
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe our experience with automatic alignment of sentences in parallel English-Chinese texts. Our report concerns three related topics: (1) progress on the HKUST English-Chinese Parallel Bilingual Corpus; (2) experiments addressing the applicability of Gale & Church's (1991) length-based statistical method to the task of alignment involving a non-Indo-European language; and (3) an improved statistical method that also incorporates domain-speciic lexical cues.

متن کاملAligning Parallel Bilingual Corpora Statistically with Punctuation Criteria
We present a new approach to aligning sentences in bilingual parallel corpora based on punctuation, especially for English and Chinese. Although the length-based approach produces high accuracy rates of sentence alignment for clean parallel corpora written in two Western languages, such as French-English or German-English, it does not work as well for parallel corpora that are noisy or written ...
متن کاملSemEval-2007 Task 11: English Lexical Sample Task via English-Chinese Parallel Text
We made use of parallel texts to gather training and test examples for the English lexical sample task. Two tracks were organized for our task. The first track used examples gathered from an LDC corpus, while the second track used examples gathered from a Web corpus. In this paper, we describe the process of gathering examples from the parallel corpora, the differences with similar tasks in pre...
متن کاملCross Sentence Alignment for Structurally Dissimilar Corpus Based on Singular Value Decomposition
Extracting the alignment pairs is a critical step for constructing bilingual corpus knowledge base for Example Based Machine Translation Systems. Different methods have been proposed in aligning parallel corpus between two different languages. However, most of them focus on structurally similar languages like English-French. This paper presents a method of cross aligning Portuguese-Chinese bili...
متن کاملBilingual Sentence Alignment Based on Punctuation Marks
We present a new approach to aligning English and Chinese sentences in parallel corpora based solely on punctuations. Although the length based approach produces high accuracy rates of sentence alignment for clean parallel corpora written in two Western languages such as French-English and German-English, it does not fair as well for parallel corpora that are noisy or written in two distant lan...
