Bootstrapping parallel corpora [PDF]
Proceedings of the HLT-NAACL 2003 Workshop on Building and using parallel texts data driven machine translation and beyond -, 2003 We present two methods for the automatic creation of parallel corpora. Whereas previous work into the automatic construction of parallel corpora has focused on harvesting them from the web, we examine the use of existing parallel corpora to bootstrap data for new language pairs.

Automatic alignment in parallel corpora [PDF]
Proceedings of the 32nd annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1994 This paper addresses the alignment issue in the framework of exploitation of large bimultilingual corpora for translation purposes. A generic alignment scheme is proposed that can meet varying requirements of different applications. Depending on the level at which alignment is sought, appropriate surface linguistic information is invoked coupled with ...

Sense discrimination with parallel corpora [PDF]
Proceedings of the ACL-02 workshop on Word sense disambiguation recent successes and future directions -, 2002 This paper describes an experiment that uses translation equivalents derived from parallel corpora to determine sense distinctions that can be used for automatic sense-tagging and other disambiguation tasks. Our results show that sense distinctions derived from cross-lingual information are at least as reliable as those made by human annotators ...

Aligning sentences in parallel corpora [PDF]
Proceedings of the 29th annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1991 In this paper we describe a statistical technique for aligning sentences with their translations in two parallel corpora. In addition to certain anchor points that are available in our data, the only information about the sentences that we use for calculating alignments is the number of tokens that they contain.

Paraphrasing with bilingual parallel corpora [PDF]
Proceedings of the 43rd Annual Meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics - ACL '05, 2005 Previous work has used monolingual parallel corpora to extract and generate paraphrases. We show that this task can be done using bilingual parallel corpora, a much more commonly available resource. Using alignment techniques from phrasebased statistical machine translation, we show how paraphrases in one language can be identified using a phrase in ...

Feasibility of using corpora as a tool in translation practice
Australian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2023 Professional translators commonly employ various tools to streamline and ensure the accuracy and consistency of their work. One such tool is corpora, which becomes particularly crucial when dealing with authentic texts like those from the United Nations

The use of English, Czech and French punctuation marks in reference, parallel and comparable web corpora: a question of methodology [PDF]
Linguistica Pragensia, 2020 This paper analyses the frequency of six punctuation marks (the comma, period, colon, semicolon, question mark and exclamation mark) in three languages (English, French and Czech) in three different types of corpora — comparable web corpora, large ...

Semantics, contrastive linguistics and parallel corpora
Cognitive Studies | Études cognitives, 2014 Semantics, contrastive linguistics and parallel corpora In view of the ambiguity of the term “semantics”, the author shows the differences between the traditional lexical semantics and the contemporary semantics in the light of various semantic schools.

UPC: An Open Word-Sense Annotated Parallel Corpora for Machine Translation Study
Applied Sciences, 2020 Machine translation (MT) has recently attracted much research on various advanced techniques (i.e., statistical-based and deep learning-based) and achieved great results for popular languages.

Parallel Corpora for the Biomedical Domain
Proceedings of the Language Resources and Evaluation Conference, 2018 A vast amount of biomedical information is available in the form of scientific literature and government-authored patient information documents. While English is the most widely used language in many of these sources, there is a need to provide access to health information in languages other than English.
