description

This paper describes a technique for automatic creation of dictionaries using sub-symbolic representation of words in cross-language context. Semantic relationship among words of two languages is extracted from aligned bilingual text corpora. This feature is obtained applying the Latent Semantic Analysis technique to the matrices representing terms co-occurrences in aligned text fragments. The technique allows to find the “best translation” according to a properly defined geometric distance in an automatically created semantic space. Experiments show an interesting correctness of 95% obtained in the best case.
