Improving the performance of an example-based machine translation system using a domain-specific bilingual lexicon
Abstract : In this paper, we study the impact of using a domain-specific bilingual lexicon on the performance of an Example-Based Machine Translation system. We conducted experiments for the English-French language pair on in-domain texts from Europarl (European Parliament Proceedings) and out-of-domain texts from Emea (European Medicines Agency Documents), and we compared the results of the Example-Based Machine Translation system against those of the Statistical Machine Translation system Moses. The obtained results revealed that adding a domain-specific bilingual lexicon (extracted from a parallel domain-specific corpus) to the general-purpose bilingual lexicon of the Example-Based Machine Translation system improves translation quality for both in-domain as well as outof-domain texts, and the Example-Based Machine Translation system outperforms Moses when texts to translate are related to the specific domain.
