Exploiting a Multilingual Web-based Encyclopedia for Bilingual Terminology Extraction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Multilingual linguistic resources are usually constructed from parallel corpora, but since these corpora are available only for selected text domains and language pairs, the potential of other resources is being explored as well. This article seeks to explore and to exploit the idea of using multilingual web-based encyclopedias such as Wikipedia as comparable corpora for bilingual terminology extraction. We propose an approach to extract terms and their translations from different types of Wikipedia link information and data. The next step will be using a linguistic-based infouflation to re-rank and filter the extracted term candidates in the target language. Preliminary evaluations using the combined statistics-based and linguistic-based approaches were applied on different pairs of languages including Japanese, French and English. These evaluations showed a real open improvement and a good quality of the extracted term candidates for building or enriching multilingual ontology, dictionaries or feeding a cross-language information retrieval system with the related expansion terms of the source query.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
