In a parallel corpus, similar representations can be derived for versions of a text in various languages and used for parallel segmentation and as an alternative measure of text-translation similarity.
Abstract
A quantitative representation of discourse structure can be computed by measuring lexical cohesion relations among adjacent text elements. These representations have previously been proposed to deal with sub-topic text segmentation. In a parallel corpus, similar representations can be derived for versions of a text in various languages. These can be used for parallel segmentation and as an alternative measure of text-translation similarity 1.
