Abstract

We present an efficient hybrid method for aligning sentences with their translations in a parallel bilingual corpus. The new algorithm is composed of a length-based and anchor matching method that uses Named Entity recognition. This algorithm combines the speed of length-based models with the accuracy of anchor finding methods. The accuracy of finding cognates for Hungarian-English language pair is extremely low, hence we thought of using a novel approach that includes Named Entity recognition. Due to the well selected anchors it was found to outperform the best two sentence alignment algorithms so far published for the Hungarian-English language pair.
