Abstract:
A method for creating bilingual terminology from a source text comprising at least one sequence of source terms aligned with a target text comprising at least one sequence of target terms, a term being composed of at least one word, said method comprising the computer implemented steps of:a) reading a first pair consisting of a source sequence aligned with a target sequence;b) building a network wherein each node (Si or Tj) comprises at least one term from said first pair of aligned source/target sequences, such that each combination of source terms is included within a different source node and each combination of target terms is included within a different target node;c) linking each source node (Si) with each target node (Tj) with an arc;d) computing an association score for each pair of linked source and target nodes;e) selecting at least one arc performed according to a network flow optimization algorithm such that the corresponding source/target linked terms are considered relevant bilingual terms;f) storing the relevant bilingual terms;g) repeating steps a) to f) for all pairs of aligned sequences.
