This can be problematic when the translator does not have such a corpus, for instance, when the text belongs to an emerging field. To solve this issue, CAT research has looked into the leveraging of comparable corpora, i.e. a set of texts, in two or more languages, which deal with the same topic but are not translations of one another.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis work had two primary objectives. The first is to assess the input of lexicons extracted from comparable corpora in the context of a specialized human translation task. The second objective is to identify bilingual-lexicon-extraction methods which best match the translators' needs, determining the current limits of these techniques and suggesting improvements. The author focuses, in particular, on the identification of fertile translations, the management of multiple morphological structures, and the ranking of candidate translations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe experiments are carried out on two language pairs (English–French and English–German) and on specialized texts dealing with breast cancer. This research puts significant emphasis on applicability – methodological choices are guided by the needs of the final users. This book is organized in two parts: the first part presents the applicative and scientific context of the research, and the second part is given over to efforts to improve compositional translation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe research work presented in this book received the PhD Thesis award 2014 from the French association for natural language processing (ATALA).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1 Applicative and Scientific Context 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Leveraging Comparable Corpora and Computer-Assisted Translation 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 User-Centered Evaluation of Lexicons Extracted from Comparable Corpora 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Automatic Generation of Term Translations 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 2 Contributions to Compositional Translation 99\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Morph-Compositional Translation: Methodological Framework 101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Experimental Data 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Formalization and Evaluation of Candidate Translation Generation 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Formalization and Evaluation of Candidate Translation Ranking 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion and Perspectives 199\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 3 Appendices 205\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1 Measures 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 2 Data 215\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 3 Comparable Corpora Lexicons Consultation Interface 261\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Tables 265\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Figures 271\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Algorithms 273\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Extracts 275\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography 277\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 289\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Computer programming \/ software development [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Computer programming \/ software development\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Computer%20programming%20\/%20software%20development%20%5BUM%5D%22\"\u003eUM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-ISTE","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52449388232984,"sku":"9781848216891","price":116.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781848216891.jpg?v=1785197659","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/comparable-corpora-and-computer-assisted-translation-hardback-9781848216891","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
