ISA & ICA - Two Web Interfaces for Interactive Alignment of Bitexts alignment of parallel texts

Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2006)

Abstract

ISA and ICA are two web interfaces for interactive alignment of parallel texts. ISA provides an interface for automatic and manual sentence alignment. It includes cognate filters and uses structural markup to improve automatic alignment and provides intuitive tools for editing them. Alignment results can be saved to disk or sent via e-mail. ICA provides an interface to the clue aligner from the Uplug toolbox. It allows one to set various parameters and visualizes alignment results in a two-dimensional matrix. Word alignments can be edited and saved to disk.
