| dc.description.abstract | In this paper, we present a model of statistical word-level mapping for comparable corpora. The approach is based on the assumption that if two terms have close distributional profiles, their corresponding translations' distributional profiles should be close in a comparable corpus. The proposed model is described. A preliminary investigation on intralanguage comparable corpora is laid out. The preliminary results are >92% accurate, suggesting the feasibility of the model. The model needs to undergo some improvements and should be tested cross linguistically before assessing its significance. (Also cross-referenced as UMIACS-TR-2000-41, LAMP-TR-048) | en_US |
