Automatic extraction of transfer mappings from bilingual corpora
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of associating dependency structures from two different languages, wherein the dependency structures comprise nodes organized in a parent/child structure, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- associating nodes of the dependency structures to form tentative correspondences; and
aligning nodes of the dependency structures as a function of at least one of eliminating at least one of the tentative correspondences and structural considerations.

Abstract
A method of aligning nodes of dependency structures obtained from a bilingual corpus includes a two-phase approach wherein a first phase comprises associating nodes of the dependency structures to form tentative correspondences. The nodes of the dependency structures are then aligned as a function of the tentative correspondences and structural considerations. Mappings are obtained from the aligned dependency structures. The mappings can be expanded with varying types and amounts of local context in order that a more fluent translation can be obtained when translation is performed

24. A computer-implemented method of associating dependency structures from two different languages, wherein the dependency structures comprise nodes organized in a parent/child structure, the computer-implemented method comprising:
aligning nodes of the dependency structures as a function of a set of rules, the rules being applied to the nodes initially irrespective of the parent/child structure. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

42. A computer readable media having information thereon for a computer-implemented machine translation system to translate text from a first language to a second language, the information comprising:
a plurality of mappings, each mapping indicative of associating a dependency structure of the first language with a dependency structure of the second language, wherein at least some of the mappings correspond to dependency structures of the first language having varying context with some common elements, and associated dependency structures of the second language to the dependency structures of the first language also having varying context with some common elements. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54)
