Abstract (Summary of the Work)

Bilingual parallel corpora is used in many applications in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and beyond. Machine Translation System is a well known application to use bilingual parallel corpora. Our work presents a system to mine bilingual parallel corpora from the web. We first collected candidate sites that contain Hindi-English text by initially supplying Hindi-English language pair and a list of Hindi words to the system. Hindi-English parallel corpora is mined from these candidate websites. Although our system has space for improvements but the resultant parallel corpus is very accurate and good. We have not built a very big Hindi-English parallel corpus because our initial goal was to find an approach. We have shown the improvements in machine translation by this Hindi-English parallel corpus. Details of our Hindi-English parallel corpora, mined from the web till now are also given. In our system no manual efforts are required. Our system can be used to mine domain specific as well as general domain bilingual parallel corpora. As data are growing over the web with time, our system can be used to build larger parallel corpora in future.
