15th WORKSHOP ON BUILDING AND USING COMPARABLE CORPORA (BUCC)
WITH SHARED TASK ON MULTILINGUAL TERMINOLOGY EXTRACTION FROM COMPARABLE

MOTIVATION

In the language engineering and the linguistics communities, research in
comparable corpora has been motivated by two main reasons. In language
engineering, on the one hand, it is primarily motivated by the need to use
comparable corpora as training data for statistical NLP applications such as
statistical and neural machine translation or cross-lingual information
retrieval. In linguistics, on the other hand, comparable corpora are of
interest because they enable cross-language discoveries and comparisons. It is
generally accepted in both communities that comparable corpora consist of
documents that are comparable in content and form in various degrees and
dimensions across several languages, dialects, or varieties. Parallel corpora
are on the one end of this spectrum, unrelated corpora on the other.

TOPICS

We solicit contributions on all topics related to comparable (and
parallel) corpora, including but not limited to the following:

Building Comparable Corpora:

* Automatic and semi-automatic methods
* Methods to mine parallel and non-parallel corpora from the web
* Tools and criteria to evaluate the comparability of corpora
* Parallel vs non-parallel corpora, monolingual corpora
* Rare and minority languages, across language families
* Multi-media/multi-modal comparable corpora

Applications of comparable corpora:

* Human translation
* Language learning
* Cross-language information retrieval & document categorization
* Bilingual and multilingual projections
* (Unsupervised) machine translation
* Writing assistance
* Machine learning techniques using comparable corpora

Mining from Comparable Corpora:

* Cross-language distributional semantics and pre-trained multilingual
transformer models
* Creation of bilingual and multilingual embeddings from comparable corpora 
* Methods to derive parallel from non-parallel corpora (e.g. to provide for
low-resource languages in neural machine translation)
* Extraction of bilingual and multilingual translations of single words,
multi-word expressions, proper names, named entities, sentences, and
paraphrases from comparable corpora, etc.
* Induction of morphological, grammatical, and translation rules from
comparable corpora
* Induction of multilingual word classes from comparable corpora

Comparable Corpora in the Humanities:

* Comparing linguistic phenomena across languages in contrastive linguistics
* Analyzing properties of translated language in translation studies
* Studying language change over time in diachronic linguistics
* Assigning texts to authors via authors' corpora in forensic linguistics
* Comparing rhetorical features in discourse analysis
* Studying cultural differences in sociolinguistics
* Analyzing language universals in typological research
