Abstract
In this paper, new learning method have been proposed to acquire translation knowledge from corpora. The learning method automatically acquires rules, which are immanent in bilingual sentences, as translation knowledge. That is, the system acquires translation knowledge only from corpora without any prior preparation of a resource (e.g., a bilingual dictionary, a machine translation system). The learning method was applied to a machine translation system and a system for automatic extraction of bilingual word pairs. Evaluation experiments indicated the effectiveness of the learning method.
