- Ralf D. Brown. 1997. Automated dictionary extraction for “knowledge-free” example-based translation. Abstract: An Example-Based Machine Translation system is supplied with a sentencealigned bilingual corpus, but no other knowledge sources. Using the knowledge implicit in the corpus, it generates a bilingual word-for-word dictionary for alignment during translation. With such an automatically-generated dictionary, the system covers (with equivalent quality) more of its input on unseen texts than the same system does when provided with a manually-created general-purpose dictionary and other knowledge sources.
