A Program for Aligning Sentences in Bilingual Corpora

In a recent paper, Gale and Church describe an inexpensive method for aligning bitext, based exclusively on sentence lengths Gale and Church, 1991. While this method produces surprisingly good results (a success rate around 96%), even better results…

We describe a statistical technique for assigning senses to words. An instance of a word is assigned a sense by asking a question about the context in which the word appears. The question is constructed to have high mutual information with the…

We have previously demonstrated that both D-glucose and glibenclamide stimulate the Na(+)/K(+) pump and suggested that this may be part of the membrane repolarization process, following the primary depolarization by these agents. The aim of this…

There have been a number of recent papers on aligning parallel texts at the sentence level, e.g., Brown et al (1991), Gale and Church (to appear), Isabelle (1992), Kay and Ro .. senschein (to appear), Simard et al (1992), WarwickArmstrong and…

Dictionaries are written for a specific user group and the content and presentation must therefore be directed/aimed at that specific target group. In the past dictionaries were often compiled without the lexicographers really taking time and…

Summary: Profile Comparer (PRC) is a stand-alone program for scoring and aligning profile hidden Markov models (HMMs) of protein families. PRC can read models produced by SAM and HMMER, two popular profile HMM packages, as well as PSI-BLAST…

The growing importance of multilingual information retrieval and machine translation has made multilingual ontologies an extremely valuable resource. Since the construction of an ontology from scratch is a very expensive and time consuming…

The authors propose a method for automatically generating Japanese-English bilingual thesauri based on bilingual corpora. The term bilingual thesaurus refers to a set of bilingual equivalent words and their synonyms. Most of the methods proposed so…
