Harvesting the Bitexts of the Laws of Hong Kong From the Web 
 In this paper we present our recent work on harvesting English-Chinese bitexts of the laws of Hong Kong from the Web and aligning them to the subparagraph level via utilizing the numbering system in the legal text hierarchy . Basic methodology and practical techniques are reported in detail. The resultant bilingual corpus , 10.4M English words and 18.3M Chinese characters , is an authoritative and comprehensive text collection covering the specific and special domain of HK laws. It is particularly valuable to empirical MT research . This piece of work has also laid a foundation for exploring and harvesting English-Chinese bitexts in a larger volume from the Web .
