| Abstract | Parallel corpora are indispensable resources for a variety of multilingualnatural language processing tasks. This paper presents a technique for fullyautomatic construction of constantly growing parallel corpora. We propose asimple and effective dictionary-based algorithm to extract parallel documentpairs from a large collection of articles retrieved from the Internet, potentially containing manually translated texts. This algorithm wasimplemented and tested on Hebrew-English parallel texts. With properly selectedthresholds, precision of 100% can be obtained. |
