Description
Summary:In this paper we describe LIHLA, a lexical aligner which uses bilingual probabilis-tic lexicons generated by a freely availa-ble set of tools (NATools) and language-independent heuristics to find links be-tween single words and multiword units in sentence-aligned parallel texts. The method has achieved an alignment error rate of 22.72 % and 44.49 % on English– Inuktitut and Romanian–English parallel sentences, respectively. 1
