Notes

  1. https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/.

  2. The term “translation spotting” refers to the task of identifying the target-language words that correspond to a given set of source-language words in a pair of text segments known to be mutual translations (Simard 2003).

  3. Definition of lexical bundle from Wikipedia: “a sequence of two or more words that occur in language with high frequency but are not idiomatic; a bundle, chunk, or cluster”.
