Identification of Fertile Translations in Comparable Corpora: A Morpho-Compositional Approach

Estelle Delpech, Béatrice Daille, Emmanuel Morin, Claire Lemaire


Abstract
This paper defines a method for lexicon in the biomedical domain from comparable corpora. The method is based on compositional translation and exploits morpheme-level translation equivalences. It can generate translations for a large variety of morphologically constructed words and can also generate ’fertile’ translations. We show that fertile translations increase the overall quality of the extracted lexicon for English to French translation.
