Semi-Automatic Acquisition of Domain-Specific Translation Lexicons

Abstract

We investigate the utility of an algorithm for translation lexicon acquisition (SABLE), used previously on a very large corpus to acquire general translation lexicons, when that algorithm is applied to a much smaller corpus to produce candidates for domain-specific translation lexicons.
