iChi: a bilingual dictionary generating tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce a bilingual dictionary generating tool that does not use any large bilingual corpora. With this tool we implement our novel pivot based bilingual dictionary generation method that uses mainly the WordNet of the pivot language to build a new bilingual dictionary. We propose the usage of WordNet for good accuracy, introducing also a double directional selection method with local thresholds to maximize recall.

متن کاملAuto-generating Bilingual Dictionaries: Results of the TIAD-2017 Shared Task Baseline Algorithm
Inferring a bilingual dictionary L1>L3 given two bilingual dictionaries L1>L2 and L2>L3 is a non-trivial task, as seen in reports of large-scale, computationally-heavy experiments published in recent years (Soderland et al. (2009); Shezaf and Rappoport (2010)). Early works on this (cf. Tanaka and Umemura (1994)) have already noticed that the main obstacle in such inferences stems from the fact ...
متن کاملLearning Multilingual Subjective Language via Cross-Lingual Projections
This paper explores methods for generating subjectivity analysis resources in a new language by leveraging on the tools and resources available in English. Given a bridge between English and the selected target language (e.g., a bilingual dictionary or a parallel corpus), the methods can be used to rapidly create tools for subjectivity analysis in the new language.
متن کاملGenerating Code-switched Text for Lexical Learning
A vast majority of L1 vocabulary acquisition occurs through incidental learning during reading (Nation, 2001; Schmitt et al., 2001). We propose a probabilistic approach to generating code-mixed text as an L2 technique for increasing retention in adult lexical learning through reading. Our model that takes as input a bilingual dictionary and an English text, and generates a code-switched text th...
