Empirical Methods for Exploiting Parallel Texts

I. Dan Melamed


Parallel texts (bitexts) are a goldmine of linguistic knowledge,
because the translation of a text into another language can be viewed
as a detailed annotation of what that text means. Knowledge about
translational equivalence, which can be gleaned from bitexts, is of
central importance for applications such as manual and machine
translation, cross-language information retrieval, and corpus
linguistics. The availability of bitexts has increased dramatically
since the advent of the Web, making their study an exciting new area
of research in natural language processing. This book lays out the
theory and the practical techniques for discovering and applying
translational equivalence at the lexical level. It is a
start-to-finish guide to designing and evaluating many translingual
applications.


I. Dan Melamed is a research scientist in the Computer Science Research
Department of West Group, Minnesota.
