A Japanese-English Technical Lexicon for Translation and Language Research
Fredric C. Gey, David Kirk Evans, Noriko Kando · 2008
In this paper we present a Japanese-English Bilingual lexicon of technical terms.The lexicon was derived from the first and second NTCIR evaluation collections for research into cross-language information retrieval for Asian languages.While it can be utilized for translation between Japanese and English, the lexicon is also suitable for language research and language engineering.Since it is collection-derived, it contains instances of word variants and miss-spellings which make it eminently suitable for further research.For a subset of the lexicon we make available the collection statistics.In addition we make available a Katakana subset suitable for transliteration research.
