However, the two approaches generate indirect translation equivalence hypotheses on the basis of radically different material: the GIZA dictionary uses evidence from parallel corpora of ex-isting human translations, while our system recombines translation candidates on the basis of their distributional similarity in monolingual comparable corpora.
our system returns both descriptors used in human translation as a pairlack essential (ranked 41 without filtering and 22 with the default semantic filter).
