Alinment and Matching of Bilingual English-Chinese News Tests

摘要

This paper presents a project to align and match bilingual English-Chinese news files downloaded from the China News Service's website. The work involves the alignment of bilingual texts at the sentence and clause levels. It addition, the work also requires matching of files as the English and Chinese new files downloaded from the web do not come in the same sequential order. These news files have their own characteristics and, furthermore, the issue of file-matching has its unique difficulties apart from the known problems of alignment work previously reported in the literature.
