Assisting Translators in Indirect Lexical Transfer

This video was recorded at 45th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics. We present the design and evaluation of a translator's amenuensis that uses comparable corpora to propose and rank non-literal 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.
