@inProceedings{marko-etal-2006-cross-34049, title = {Cross-Lingual Alignment of Medical Lexicons}, abstract = {We present an approach for the creation of a multilingual medical dictionary for the biomedical domain. In a first step, available monolingual lexical resources are compiled into a common interchange format. Secondly, according to a linking format deciced by the authors, the cross-lingual mappings of lexical entries are added. We show how these mappings can be generated using a morpho-semantic term normalization engine, which captures intra- as well as interlingual synonymy relationships on the level of subwords.}, booktitle = {Language Resources and Evaluation }, author = {Marko, Kornel and Baud, Robert and Zweigenbaum, Pierre and Merkel, Magnus and Toporowska Gronostaj, Maria and Kokkinakis, Dimitrios and Schulz, Stefan}, year = {2006}, volume = {2006}, pages = {5--8}, }
