Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically extracting parallel word sequences from comparable corpora are described. Electronic documents, such as web pages belonging to a collaborative online encyclopedia, are analyzed to locate parallel word sequences between electronic documents written in different languages. These parallel word sequences are then used to train a machine translation system that can translate text from one language to another.
