In addition, online collaborative communication represents a practical and a constructivist method to transmit…

This paper describes a new method for cross-lingual textual entailment (CLTE) detection based on machine translation (MT). We use sub-segment translations from different MT systems available online as a source of cross-lingual knowledge. In this work we describe and evaluate…

Previous work on an interactive system aimed at helping non-expert users to enlarge the monolingual dictionaries of rule-based machine translation (MT) systems worked by discarding those inflection paradigms that cannot generate a set of inflected word forms validated by the…
