17. The article of claim 16 , wherein selectively using the bilingual resource comprises: if the category comprises an organization or location name, translating one or more words in the named entity using a bilingual dictionary, transliterating the one or more words in the named entity using the pronunciation-based and spelling-based transliteration model, combining the translated one or more words with the transliterated one or more words into a regular expression defining available permutations of the translated one or more words and the transliterated one or more words, and matching the regular expression against a monolingual resource in the target language.
19. The article of claim 17 , wherein matching the regular expression against the monolingual resource comprises generating scores for the potential translations according to: P ⁡ ( e ❘ f ) = α ⁢ ∑ ∀ a ⁢ ⁢ P ⁡ ( e , a ❘ f ) = α ⁢ ∑ a 1 = 0 l ⁢ ⁢ … ⁢ ∑ a m = 0 l ⁢ ⁢ ∏ j = 0 m ⁢ ⁢ t ⁡ ( e a j ❘ f j ) where f is a phrase from the potential translations, e is a given word from the translated and transliterated words, l is the length of e, m is the length of f, a is a scaling factor based on a number of found matches for e, a j is an index of the target language word aligned with f j , according to an alignment a, and probability t(e a j |f j ) is a linear combination of a transliteration score and a translation score, where the translation score is a uniform probability over all dictionary entries for f j .
