Efficient Extraction of Pseudo-Parallel Sentences from Raw Monolingual Data Using Word Embeddings

ACL 2017  ·  Benjamin Marie, Atsushi Fujita ·

We propose a new method for extracting pseudo-parallel sentences from a pair of large monolingual corpora, without relying on any document-level information. Our method first exploits word embeddings in order to efficiently evaluate trillions of candidate sentence pairs and then a classifier to find the most reliable ones. We report significant improvements in domain adaptation for statistical machine translation when using a translation model trained on the sentence pairs extracted from in-domain monolingual corpora.
