Abstract

In the language engineering and linguistics communities, research in comparable corpora has been motivated by two main reasons. In language engineering, on the one hand, it is chiefly motivated by the need to use comparable corpora as training data for statistical NLP applications such as statistical and neural machine translation or cross-lingual retrieval. In linguistics, on the other hand, comparable corpora are of interest because they enable cross-language discoveries and comparisons. It is generally accepted in both communities that comparable corpora consist of documents that are comparable in content and form in various degrees and dimensions across several languages or language varieties. Parallel corpora are on the one end of this spectrum, unrelated corpora on the other. Comparable corpora have been used in various applications, including Information Retrieval, Machine Translation, Cross-lingual text classification, etc. The linguistic definitions and observations related to comparable corpora can improve methods to mine such corpora for statistical natural language processing applications, for example, to extract parallel corpora from comparable corpora for neural machine translation. As such, it is of great interest to bring together builders and users of such corpora. The aim of the workshop series on "Building and Using Comparable Corpora" (BUCC) is to promote progress in this field.
