Abstract
Our research shows the usefulness of taking into account the context of a term within a text to be translated to better find an appropriate term equivalent for it in a term bank. A term bank has the particularity of categorising its records by assigning them one or more domains from a pre-established list of domains. The strategy presented here uses this domain information. An algorithm has been developed to automatically assign a domain profile to a source text. It is then combined with another algorithm which finds a match between a term’s domains (as found in the term bank) and the text’s domain profile. For our experimentation, bilingual abstracts (French-English) from eight scientific journals provide 1130 pairs of term equivalents. The Grand Dictionnaire Terminologique (Office Québécois de la Langue Française) is used as a terminological ressource. On our data set, we show a reduction of 75% in the average rank of the correct equivalent, in comparison to a random choice.
