Abstract: Systems, computer programs, and methods for identifying parallel documents and/or fragments in a bilingual collection are provided. The method for identifying parallel sub-sentential fragments in a bilingual collection comprises translating a source document from a bilingual collection. The method further includes querying a target library associated with the bilingual collection using the translated source document, and identifying one or more target documents based on the query. Subsequently, a source sentence associated with the source document is aligned to one or more target sentences associated with the one or more target documents. Finally, the method includes determining whether a source fragment associated with the source sentence comprises a parallel translation of a target fragment associated with the one or more target sentences.

Abstract: A translation training device which extracts from two nonparallel Corpora a set of parallel sentences. The system finds parameters between different sentences or phrases, in order to find parallel sentences. The parallel sentences are then used for training a data-driven machine translation system. The process can be applied repetitively until sufficient data is collected or until the performance of the translation system stops improving.

Abstract: A machine translation system may use non-parallel monolingual corpora to generate a translation lexicon. The system may identify identically spelled words in the two corpora, and use them as a seed lexicon. The system may use various clues, e.g., context and frequency, to identify and score other possible translation pairs, using the seed lexicon as a basis. An alternative system may use a small bilingual lexicon in addition to non-parallel corpora to learn translations of unknown words and to generate a parallel corpus.
