Automatic construction of an interlingual dictionary for multilingual lexicography

摘要

This paper describes a new method to produce massive multilingual dictionaries to support other applications, like multilingual search engines, multilingual chats, mobile applications and others. The classical approach to build multilingual dictionaries frequently pivots around the English language. Another approach requires the existence of bilingual lexicographers with deep knowledge of the target and source languages, which in many cases are not easy to find. This paper describes a method to produce more than 200000 interlingual words able to be converted into any other natural language. The words can be publicly consulted in the web.
