A System for Incremental and Interactive Word Linking

Abstract

Aligned parallel corpora constitute a critical information resource for a great number of linguistic and technological endeavours. Automatic sentence alignment has reached a level whereby large parallel documents can be fully aligned with the aid of interactive post-editing tools. Word alignment systems have not yet reached the same level of performance, but are good enough to support full word alignment if embedded in an interactive system. In this paper we describe a system for fast and accurate word alignment currently under development at our department, where the user can review and improve the output from an automatic system in an incremental fashion.
