Abstract
During PARSEME meeting in Athens, we
proposed an unsupervised learning system intended
to extract all the candidate multiword expressions
from sentence aligned parallel corpora and to
predict their translations. The system was created
using the parallel corpora of Orwell’s 1984, which
is a part of Multext-East project. In this paper we
evaluate the efficiency of the system and try to
determine the major drawbacks leading to wrong
expressions and inaccurate translation. They will
be illustrated with the examples of a bilingual
translation of Orwell’s 1984.
