This paper presents 3 sets of OpenLogos resources, namely the English-German, the English-French, and the English-Italian bilingual dictionaries. In addition to the usual information on part-of-speech, gender, and number for nouns, offered by most dictionaries currently available, OpenLogos bilingual dictionaries have some distinctive features that make them unique: they contain cross-language ...

This paper proposes a method to build bilingual dictionaries for specific domains defined by a parallel corpora. The proposed method is based on an original method that is not domain specific. Both the original and the proposed methods are constructed with previously available natural language processing tools. Therefore, this paper contribution resides in the choice and parametrization of the ...

This paper describes NATools, a toolkit to process, analyze and extract translation resources from Parallel Corpora. It includes tools like a sentence-aligner, a probabilistic translation dictionaries extractor, word-aligner, a corpus server, a set of tools to query corpora and dictionaries, as well as a set of tools to extract bilingual resources.

We present a simple and efficient approach for deriving bilingual dictionaries from sentence-aligned parallel text by extending the notion of co-occurrences to a cross-lingual setting. Dictionaries are evaluated against gold standards and manually; the analysis accounts for frequency and corpus size effects.

This paper examines approaches to generate lexical resources for endangered languages. Our algorithms construct bilingual dictionaries and multilingual thesauruses using public Wordnets and a machine translator (MT). Since our work relies on only one bilingual dictionary between an endangered language and an “intermediate helper” language, it is applicable to languages that lack many existing r...

Bilingual machine readable dictionaries are important and indispensable information resources for cross-language information retrieval, machine translation, and so on. In this paper, we describe a bilingual dictionary acquisition system which extracts translations from non-parallel but comparable corpora of a specific academic domain and disambiguates the extracted translations. We also experim...

In this article, we propose a method to extract translation equivalents with similar spelling from comparable corpora. The method was applied on Wikipedia to extract a large amount of PortugueseSpanish bilingual terminological pairs that were not found in existing dictionaries. The resulting bilingual lexicons consists of more than 27, 000 new pairs of lemmas and multiwords, with about 92% accu...

Bilingual machine-readable dictionaries are knowledge resources useful in many automatic tasks. However, compared to monolingual computational lexicons like WordNet, bilingual dictionaries typically provide a lower amount of structured information such as lexical and semantic relations, and often do not cover the entire range of possible translations for a word of interest. In this paper we pre...

Information exists on the Web in a number of languages. This situation has given rise to new line of research called Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR), treating the problem of finding a document written in one language via a query written in another language. One of the important resources needed for this problem is set of bilingual dictionaries for producing queries in new languages....
