OOV Translation Mining from Mixed-Language Snippets from a Search Engine

摘要

In this paper, we describe an approach to OOV translation mining based on web search. Without comparable corpus or parallel corpus, we first expand the Chinese OOV phrase with English segments by a C-E dictionary. Then the OOV and the expansion will be submitted to the web search engine. From the snippets we can mine the translation of the OOV. Experiment shows that the algorithm is simple and the approach is feasible.
