Adaptive Web Mining of Bilingual Lexicon for Query Translation

摘要

Mining of translation pairs for cross-language translation uses a collective extraction model to exploit the similarity among the translation pairs and adaptively learn extraction patterns for each bilingual webpage. The process queries a web search engine by an initial term translation list to retrieve bilingual webpages containing translations, and crawls websites hosting the retreived bilingual webpages to retrieve additional bilingual webpages. The process then extracts additional translation pairs from the bilingual webpages retrieved by learning translation patterns of the bilingual webpages retrieved and adaptively extreacting translation pairs from the bilingual webpages using the learned translation patterns. More bilingual webpages may be acquired for additional website crawling and translation pair extracting by querying the web search engine by additional translation pairs.
