Quantifying the utility of parallel corpora

Proceedings of the 24th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval, 2001
Our English-Chinese cross-language IR system is trained from parallel corpora; we investigate its performance as a function of training corpus size for three different training corpora. We find that the performance of the system as trained on the three parallel corpora can be related by a simple measure, namely the out-of-vocabulary rate of query words.

Dual Subtitles as Parallel Corpora

Proceedings of the Language Resources and Evaluation Conference, 2014
In this paper, we leverage the existence of dual subtitles as a source of parallel data. Dual subtitles present viewers with two languages simultaneously, and are generally aligned in the segment level, which removes the need to automatically perform this alignment.

Equivalence and Non-equivalence in Parallel Corpora

International Journal of Corpus Linguistics, 2001
The present paper shows how an aligned parallel corpus can be used to investigate the consistency of translation equivalence across the two languages in a parallel corpus. The particular issues addressed are the bidirectionality of translation equivalence, the coverage of multiword units, and the amount of implicit knowledge presupposed on the part of ...

Living with parallel corpora

2019
Parallel corpora can be used in translation research in at least two ways: as the main source of data or as a supplement to data retrieved from a comparable corpus, enabling data triangulation. In the former scenario, they may throw light on contrastive aspects or on translator techniques and methods.

Comparable parallel corpora

2019
Are papers presented in corpus-based translation studies truly scientific? These are normally done on only one language pair, often on purpose-made parallel corpora, and can normally not be replicated. Therefore their value is limited in a strictly scientific sense.

Working with parallel corpora

2019
Although parallel corpora are vital for cross-linguistic and natural language processing (NLP) research, most have been designed for just one particular purpose, which may unnecessarily restrict their usefulness and usability. My argument is that the usefulness of existing parallel corpora increases exponentially when data so obtained are combined with

A Statistical View on Bilingual Lexicon Extraction: From Parallel Corpora to Non-Parallel Corpora

1998
We present two problems for statistically extracting bilingual lexicon: (1) How can noisy parallel corpora be used? (2) How can non-parallel yet comparable corpora be used? We describe our own work and contribution in relaxing the constraint of using only clean parallel corpora.
