What we need to do is to find out the correct answers based on semantic clues. It is achieved by selecting relevant instances, of which the semantic information is much relevant with the input.

Baseline II can not output result due to its used TS-training set is out of the range of transliterating. It is interesting that the performance of baseline III even deteriorates after combing TS and TL training sets. One explanation might be that the language model of baseline III is only trained on word level, so that there is a severe data sparse problem. Table 4 .

Baseline III outperforms baseline II for combining both TL-training set and TS-training set. Also SS-model has substantially raised the Top-N recall and MRR value over the baselines. Intuitively, we might expect that SS model could play a greater advantage on translating organization names, because organization names usually combine transliteration and meaning translation. However, comparing Table 3 with Table 4 , the performance gaps between SS-model and baselines for organization names is smaller than that for person names. After checking those errors, this phenomenon is probably due to the word reordering problem, which usually occurs in the translation of organization names, but has not been considered by SS-model.

However, semantic information is various for NE translation. It is complicated to define different semantic types, and is tedious to train a large number of models used for different semantic information. Moreover, a semantically labeled training corpus is hard to acquire. Hence this paper does not directly learn NE semantic information, but measures the semantic similarity between the input and global context to capture exact NE translation.", | |

Accordingly, this model combines transliteration and meaning translation, and automatically selects most probable translation candidates on the basis of the NE semantic-specific information. In summary, our experiments show that the semantic-specific model is much more effective than the traditional statistical model for named entity translation, which achieves a remarkable 31.6% relative improvement in MRR (Table 5) . Furthermore, the proposed model yields a comparable result with the joint transliteration model (also using context) and the origin-based model, which shows its advantage on capturing semantic information from global context, such as origin information.", | |
