Evaluation of sentence alignment methods on portuguese-english parallel texts
Helena de Medeiros Caseli, Maria das Graças Volpe Nunes · 2003
Parallel texts, i.e., texts in one language and their translations to other languages, are very useful nowadays for many applications such as machine translation and multilingual information retrieval. If these texts are aligned in sentence level, for instance, their relevance increases considerably. In this paper we describe some experiments that have being done with Portuguese and English parallel texts using five well known sentence alignment methods. Four corpora were used for testing, achieving 85.89% to 100% of precision.
