Abstract

Automatic detection of the transcription of personal names in different languages is a key component for cross-lingual information retrieval systems. A plenty of complex machine learning algorithms have been employed in machine transliteration tasks with considerable computational costs. We propose an efficient linguistics-based solution for recognizing its Chinese transcription for an English personal name with little computational burden. A phonological knowledge-base for mapping English phonetic representation to Chinese phonetic representation is constructed offline firstly, and then a lenient matching scheme based on consonant cluster skeleton implemented by fuzzy regular expression matching is carried out during online processing. An experiment achieving state-of-the-art performance shows its efficiency and effectiveness.
