Building Bilingual Parallel Corpora based on Wikipedia
Building Bilingual Parallel Corpora based on Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Mehdi Mohammadi and Nasser GhasemAghaee.
Overview
Aligned parallel corpora are an important resource for a wide range of multilingual researches, specifically, corpus-based machine translation. In this paper authors present a Persian- English sentence-aligned parallel corpus by mining Wikipedia. Authors propose a method of extracting sentence-level alignment by using an extended link-based bilingual lexicon method. Experimental results show that method increase precision, while it reduce the total number of generated candidate pairs.
