abstract: This paper presents a novel strategy for translating lists 
of keyphrases. Typical keyphrase lists appear in 
scientific articles, information retrieval systems and 
web page meta-data. Our system combines a statistical 
translation model trained on a bilingual corpus of 
scientific papers with sense-focused look-up in a large 
bilingual terminological resource. For the latter, 
we developed a novel technique that benefits from viewing 
the keyphrase list as contextual help for sense 
disambiguation. The optimal combination of modules was 
discovered by a genetic algorithm. Our work applies to 
the French / English language pair.
