In addition, bilingual collocations can be rigid or flexible in both languages. Rigid collocation refers to words in a collocation must appear next to each other, or otherwise (flexible/elastic). We focus in this paper on extracting rigid lexical bilingual collocations. In our method, the preferred syntactic patterns are obtained from idioms and collocations in a machine-readable dictionary. Collocations matching the patterns are extracted from aligned sentences in a parallel corpus. We use a new alignment method based on punctuation statistics for sentence alignment. The punctuation-based approach is found to outperform the length-based approach with precision rates approaching 98%. The obtained collocations are subsequently matched up based on cross-linguistic statistical association. Statistical association between the whole collocations as well as words in collocations is used to link a collocation with its counterpart collocation in the other language. We implemented the proposed method on a very large Chinese-English parallel corpus and obtained satisfactory results.",

Collocations are recurrent combinations of words that co-occur more often than they normally would based on chance. The words in a collocation may appear next to each other (rigid collocations) or in other locations (flexible/elastic collocations). On the other hand, collocations can also be classified as lexical or grammatical collocations [Benson, Benson, Ilson, 1986] . Lexical collocations exist between content words, while a grammatical collocation exists between a content word and function words or a syntactic structure. Collocations are pervasive in all types of writing and can be found in phrases, chunks, proper names, idioms, and terminology. Collocations in one language are usually difficult to translate directly into another language word for word; therefore, they present a challenge for machine translation systems and second language learners alike.",

                "text": "Automatic extraction of monolingual and bilingual collocations is important for many applications, including natural language generation, word sense disambiguation, machine translation, lexicography, and cross language information retrieval. Hank and Church [1990] pointed out the usefulness of mutual information for identifying monolingual collocations in lexicography. Justeson and Katz [1995] proposed to identify technical terminology based on preferred linguistic patterns and discourse properties of repetition. Among the many general methods presented by Manning and Schutze [1999] , the best results can be achieved through filtering based on both linguistic and statistical constraints. Smadja [1993] presented a method called EXTRACT, based on the mean variance of the distance between two collocates , that is capable of computing elastic collocations. Kupiec [1993] proposed to extract bilingual noun phrases using statistical analysis of the co-occurrence of phrases. Smadja, McKeown, and Hatzivassiloglou [1996] extended the EXTRACT approach to handle bilingual collocation based mainly on the statistical measures of the Dice coefficient. Dunning [1993] pointed out the weakness of mutual information and showed that log likelihood ratios are more effective in identifying monolingual collocations, especially when the occurrence count is very low. Both Smadja and Kupiec used the statistical association between whole collocations in two languages without examining the constituent words. For a collocation and its non-compositional translation equivalent, this approach is reasonable. For instance, with the bilingual collocation (\"\u64e0\u7834\u982d\uff02, \"stop at nothing\uff02) shown in Example 1, it will not be helpful to examine the statistical association between \"stopping\uff02 and \"\u64e0\uff02 [ji, squeeze] (or \"\u7834\uff02 [bo, broken] and \"\u982d\uff02 [tou, head] for that matter). However, for the bilingual collocation (\"\u6e1b\u85aa\uff02, \" pay cut\uff02 ) shown in Example 2, considering the statistical association between \"pay\uff02 and \"\u85aa\uff02 [xin, wage] as well as between \"cut\uff02 and \"\u6e1b\uff02 [jian, reduce] certainly makes sense. Moreover, we have more data with which to make statistical inferences between words than between phrases. Therefore, measuring the statistical association of collocations based on constituent words will help us cope with the data sparseness problem. We will be able to extract bilingual collocations with high reliability even when they appear together in aligned sentences only once or twice.",

In this paper, we describe an algorithm that employs syntactic and statistical analyses to extract rigid lexical bilingual collocations from a parallel corpus. Here, we focus on bilingual collocations, which have some lexical correlation between them and are rigid in both languages. To cope with the data sparseness problem, we use the statistical association between two collocations as well as that between their constituent words. In Section 2, we describe how we obtain the preferred syntactic patterns from collocations and idioms in a machine-readable dictionary. Examples will be given to show how collocations matching the patterns are extracted and aligned for given aligned sentence pairs in a parallel corpus. We implemented the proposed method in an experiment on the Chinese-English parallel corpus of Sinorama Magazine and obtained satisfactory results. We describe the experiments and our evaluation in section 3. The limitations of the study and related issues are taken up in section 4. We conclude and give future directions of research in section 5.",

To align collocations in both languages, we employ the Competitive Linking Algorithm proposed by Melamed [1996] to conduct word alignment. Basically, the proposed algorithm CLASS, the Collocation Linking Algorithm based on Syntax and Statistics, is a greedy method that selects collocation pairs. The pair with the highest association value takes precedence over those with lower values. CLASS also imposes a one-to-one constraint on the collocation pairs selected. Therefore, the algorithm at each step considers only pairs with words that haven't been selected previously. However, CLASS differs with CLA(Competitive Linking Algorithm) in that it considers the association between the two candidate collocations based on two measures: the Logarithmic Likelihood Ratio between the two collocations in question as a whole; the translation probability of collocation based on constituent words.",

Another major cause of errors was collocations that were not translated compositionally. For instance, the word \"State\" in the Example 6 is a part of the collocation \"United States,\" and \"\u7f8e\u570b\" is more highly associated with \"United\" than \"States\"; therefore, due to the one-to-one constraint \"States\" will not be aligned with \"\u7f8e\u570b\".

These name entities that are not included in the database are usually segmented into single Chinese characters. For instance, \"...\u4e00\u66f8\u4f5c\u8005\uf9c7\u5b78\u929a\u6307\u51fa...\" is segmented as \" ... / \u4e00 / \u66f8 / \u4f5c\u8005 / \uf9c7 / \u5b78 / \u929a / \u6307\u51fa / ...,\" while \"...\u5728\u5308\u7259\uf9dd\u5730\u5340 \u5efa\u570b\u7684\u99ac\u672d\u723e\u4eba...\" is segmented as \"...\u5728 / \u5308\u7259\uf9dd / \u5730\u5340 / \u5efa\u570b / \u7684 / \u99ac / \u672d / \u723e / \u4eba / ....\" Therefore, handling these name entities in a pre-process should be helpful to avoid segmenting mistakes and alignment difficulties.",
