  abstract  = {The task of unsupervised lexicon induction is to find translation pairs across
	monolingual corpora. We develop a novel method that creates seed lexicons by
	identifying cognates in the vocabularies of related languages on the basis of
	their frequency and lexical similarity. We apply bidirectional bootstrapping to
	a method which learns a linear mapping between context-based vector spaces.
	Experimental results on three language pairs show consistent improvement over
	prior work.},
