Assisting Translators in Indirect Lexical Transfer
Bogdan Babych, Anthony F. Hartley, Serge Sharoff, Olga Mudraya · Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics · 2007
We present the design and evaluation of a translator’s amenuensis that uses comparable corpora to propose and rank nonliteral solutions to the translation of expressions from the general lexicon. Using distributional similarity and bilingual dictionaries, the method outperforms established techniques for extracting translation equivalents from parallel corpora. The interface to the system is available at: http://corpus.leeds.ac.uk/assist/v05/
