| Abstract(in English) | In this paper we present an adaptation of multi-lingual information retrieval for the production of an aligned bilingual corpus from noisy parallel English-Japanese newswire articles. We implement the standard vector space model and show though simulation the effectiveness of six variations for the alignment task. The methods are computationally efficient, easy to evaluate and generalizable to other genres and language pairs - an important factor if we are to use the aligned articles for knowledge acquisition in unrestricted domains. Our results indicate that while stemming, inverse document frequency and lexical filtering all improve the performance, the best overall improvement was due to simple normalization of article length. |
