3 Query Lattice for Translation Retrieval Let f be a source-language string, E be a set of target-language strings, the problem is how to find the most probable translationê from E. Note that E is a monolingual corpus rather than a parallel corpus.
string matching on the source side (Sato and Nagao, 1990;Nirenburg et al., 1993;Baldwin and Tanaka, 2000;Baldwin, 2001) does not apply here.
