Automatically building a large bilingual corpus that contains millions of words is always a challenging task. In particular in case of low-resource languages, it is difficult to find an existing parallel corpus which is large enough for building a real statistical machine translation. However, comparable non-parallel corpora are richly available in the Internet environment, such as in Wikipedia, and from which we can extract valuable parallel texts. This work presents a framework for effectively extracting parallel sentences from that resource, which results in significantly improving the performance of statistical machine translation systems. Our framework is a bootstrapping-based method that is strengthened by using a new measurement for estimating the similarity between two bilingual sentences. We conduct experiment for the language pair of English and Vietnamese and obtain promising results on both constructing parallel corpora and improving the accuracy of machine translation from English to Vietnamese.
