A hybrid approach of noun phrase translation in cross-language information retrieval

Abstract

At present, many researches of noun phrase translation are proposed in Natural Language Processing field, but most of them are in dictionary-based with word-by-word translation and similarity selection. Hie paper proposes a hybrid approach for noun phrase translation, by combining the set theory and grammar's pattern, and its algorithms, to apply to Vietnamese-English translation. The finding also has good experimental results when applying on Vietnamese noun phrases. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
