BootCaT: Leveraging Web Corpora for Multilingual Term Extraction and Domain-Specific Translation

BootCaT is a powerful method developed by Marco Baroni and Silvia Bernardini for creating domain-specific corpora using web resources. It involves gathering search results by employing seed terms through search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. This process enables translators to access relevant terminology without being domain experts. The method allows for bilingual term extraction and iteration, facilitating the creation of corpora in multiple languages. By integrating improved cleaning and duplicate removal techniques with tools like Sketch Engine, BootCaT enhances the usability of extracted terms for translation and research.
