--- abstract: 'Parallel texts are documents that present parallel translations. This paper describes a simple method that can be deployed on a real-time news feed to create an infinitely growing source of parallel texts in French and English. Our experiment was lead on the Canada Newswire news feed. Given some of its intrinsic properties, it was possible to deploy a relatively simple text matching techniques that rely on language independent cognates such numbers, capitalized words, punctuation and new lines characters. On three week of press releases, our system correctly identified the vast majority of parallel press release. It committed only minor errors on repeated news items.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: 'August 30th, 2004' conference: Computational Linguistic in the North-East (CLiNE 2004) confloc: Montreal contact_email: ~ creators_id: - pythonner - '' creators_name: - family: Nadeau given: David honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Foster given: George honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2004 date_type: published datestamp: 2005-06-19 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/43/97 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 4397 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/4397/1/NRC%2D48081.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'parallel corpus, machine translation, ' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:56:05 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 21-28 pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: |- Ma, Xiaoyi, and Liberman, Mark, Y., 1999, BITS: A Method for Bilingual Text Search over the Web, in Machine Translation Summit VII, September.
