Abstract

In this paper, we describe a novel method to find terminology translations from hyperlinks between bilingual homepages on the Internet. The recognition of terminology and its translation is according to the similarities of their hyperlinks. A hyperlink can be regarded as a vector. The similarity of two vectors is calculated based on the Dice coefficient. Experimental results show that the method is reasonable and useful, and can be applied to any language pairs and domains for multilingual information retrieval and extraction.
