论文摘要
我们介绍了开发一种新型算法来从双语词典中提取同义词的进展。同义词的识别和使用在改善信息访问应用程序的性能中起着重要作用。这个想法是从翻译对构造翻译图，然后提取和合并环状路径以形成双语集合。对该算法的初步评估说明了提取阿拉伯语 - 英语双语同义词的有希望的结果。在评估中，我们首先将阿拉伯文章中的综合体转换为翻译对（即失去单词义成员资格）。接下来，我们应用算法来重建这些合成器。我们比较了原始的和提取的合成器，分别获得了阿拉伯语和英语综合体提取的F量为82.3％和82.1％。
We present our progress in developing a novel algorithm to extract synonyms from bilingual dictionaries. Identification and usage of synonyms play a significant role in improving the performance of information access applications. The idea is to construct a translation graph from translation pairs, then to extract and consolidate cyclic paths to form bilingual sets of synonyms. The initial evaluation of this algorithm illustrates promising results in extracting Arabic-English bilingual synonyms. In the evaluation, we first converted the synsets in the Arabic WordNet into translation pairs (i.e., losing word-sense memberships). Next, we applied our algorithm to rebuild these synsets. We compared the original and extracted synsets obtaining an F-Measure of 82.3% and 82.1% for Arabic and English synsets extraction, respectively.
