About crossMining

crossMining is a tool that examines the linguistic resources of the Across Language Server and statistically analyzes the contents of crossTank entries for correlations between the source and target languages. For example, a probability calculation is used to automatically determine matching words in the translation units of a bilingual translation memory (e.g. English engine and German motor).

Bilingual statistical lexica containing the equivalents determined in the course of the lexicon creation represent one of the intermediate results of the work of crossMining. The statistical lexica can be used for various functions directly in crossMining and within Across. The application fields of crossMining range from the creation and/or supplementation of termbases to auto-completion while translating in crossDesk.

The following diagram shows possible application scenarios of crossMining:
