Translation and extension of concepts across languages
EACL '09: Proceedings of the 12th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics

We present a method which, given a few words defining a concept in some language, retrieves, disambiguates and extends corresponding terms that define a similar concept in another specified language. This can be very useful for cross-lingual information ...
Morph-based speech recognition and modeling of out-of-vocabulary words across languages

We explore the use of morph-based language models in large-vocabulary continuous-speech recognition systems across four so-called morphologically rich languages: Finnish, Estonian, Turkish, and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic. The morphs are subword units ...
Interlingual indexing across different languages
RIAO '04: Coupling approaches, coupling media and coupling languages for information retrieval

We present two methods for automatic indexing, which are based on an interlingual layer of content description. In the first approach, we acquire indexing patterns from English documents by statistically relating interlingual representations of English ...
