Abstract
An Example-Based Machine Translation system is supplied with a sentence-aligned bilingual corpus, but no other knowledge sources. Using the knowledge implicit in the corpus, it generates a bilingual word-for-word dictionary for alignment during translation. With such an automatically-generated dictionary, the system covers (with equivalent quality) more of its input on unseen texts than the same system does when provided with a manually-created general-purpose dictionary and other knowledge sources.
