Twitter As a Multilingual Source of Comparable Corpora
Malek Hajjem, Chiraz Latiri, Yahya Slimani · 2014
This article describes a new method to build comparable corpora from Twitter. Our strategy relies on the fact that Twitter is one of the most popular online social microblog allowing large audiences to express their thoughts and reactions about specific events or breaking news in various languages. Given two languages and a particular topic, We propose the exploitation of tweets in the two selected languages whose content is focused on the selected topic from the microblog Twitter in order to construct a comparable corpus.
