Finding Translation Candidates from Patent Corpus

Sayori Shimohata


Abstract
This paper describes a method for retrieving technical terms and finding their translation candidates from patent corpora. The method improves the reliability of bilingual seed words that measure similarity between a target word and its translation candidates. We conducted an experiment with PAJ (Patent Abstracts of Japan), which is a collection of bilingual patent abstracts written in Japanese and English. The experiment result shows that our method achieves a precision of 53.5% and a recall of 75.4%.
