Sentence Alignment using MR and GA
Abstract
In this paper, two new approaches to align English-Arabic sentences in bilingual parallel corpora based on mathematical regression (MR) and genetic algorithm (GA) classifiers are presented. A feature vector is extracted from the text pair under consideration. This vector contains text features such as length, punctuation score, and cognate score values. A set of manually prepared training data was assigned to train the mathematical regression and genetic algorithm models. Another set of data was used for testing. The results of (MR) and (GA) outperform the results of length based approach. Moreover these new approaches are valid for any languages pair and are quite flexible since the feature vector may contain more, less or different features, such as a lexical matching feature and Hanzi characters in Japanese-Chinese texts, than the ones used in the current research.
