In " Applications of Comparable Corpora " edited book Berlin Linguistic Press (ed.). Bilingual dictionaries are very important in various fields of natural language processing. In recent years, research on extracting new bilingual lex...

Bilingual terminology dictionaries are resources of much practical importance in many application of bilingual NLP. Because technical terminology can be both very specific and rapidly evolving, it can however be difficult to obtain dictionaries with good coverage. Mining automatically such terminology from technical documents is therefore an attractive possibility. With this goal in mind, and f...

In this paper, we address the task of calculating monoand bilingual semantic similarity. We introduce a method that, in order to arrive at a measure of semantic relatedness, exploits the information implicitly contained in bilingual dictionaries. Through experiments we show that our method performs well, with a performance comparable to approaches based on hierarchical knowledge bases and corpu...

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 ...

Dictionary notes play an important role in description of a title unit. A note is abbreviated word or phrase which gives certain characteristic to the language Traditionally, different types are distinguished: grammatical, stylistic, sectoral, chronological, etc. The object this research lexicographic can be justified if it demarks usage sphere and peculiarities

A novel method is proposed for measuring contextual similarity by “weighted overlapping ratio (WOR)” to construct a bilingual dictionary of a new language pair from two bilingual dictionaries sharing one language. The WOR alleviates the effect of a noisy seed dictionary resulting from merger of two bilingual dictionaries via a third language. Combined use of two word-association measures for ex...

Translation ambiguity, out of vocabulary words and missing some translations in bilingual dictionaries make dictionary-based Crosslanguage Information Retrieval (CLIR) a challenging task. Moreover, in agglutinative languages which do not have reliable stemmers, missing various lexical formations in bilingual dictionaries degrades CLIR performance. This paper aims to introduce a probabilistic tr...

In this paper, a new method for acquiring bilingual dictionaries from on-line text corpora is presented. The method merges rule-based techniques for obtaining dictionaries from structuralised data, such as paper dictionaries (in electronic form) or on-line glossaries, with methods used by aligning tools, such as GIZA. The basic idea is to search for anchor words such as abstract or keywords fol...

Japio performs various patent-related translation businesses, and owns the original patent-document-derived bilingual technical term database (Japio Terminology Database) to be used by the translators. Currently the database contains more than 1,000,000 J-E technical terms. The Japio Technical Field Dictionaries (technical-field-oriented machine translation dictionaries) are created from the Ja...
