11. A method for identifying parallel documents in a bilingual collection of documents, the method comprising: translating a source document from a bilingual collection of documents using a processor configured to perform statistical machine translation; querying a target library associated with the bilingual collection of documents using the translated source document using a query engine of the processor; identifying a predetermined limited number one or more target documents in the target library that are most similar to the translated source document, based on the query using the query engine; aligning one or more source sentence associated with the source document to one or more target sentences associated with each of the one or more identified target documents to generate one or more aligned sentence pairs, the aligning performed using a document selector engine of the processor; discarding each of the one or more identified target documents that does not have a specified number of sentence pairs that can be aligned, the discarding performed using the document selector engine; determining for each of the one or more identified target documents a number of aligned sentence pairs that are translations of each other, the determining performed using the document selector engine; and determining whether the source document comprises a parallel translation of one of the one or more target documents, the determining performed using a parallel document engine of the processor and comprising: determining a percentage of words that are aligned in each sentence pair of the target document using greedily linking, determining a number of sentence pairs in the target document that are parallel sentence pairs based on the percentage of words that are aligned in each sentence pair, and selecting the target document as being a parallel translation of the source document according to a number of parallel sentence pairs in the target document.
12. The method recited in claim 11 wherein determining whether the source document comprises a parallel translation of one of the one or more target documents further comprises determining whether the number of the source sentences aligned to the one or more target sentences satisfies a threshold associated with noisy sentences.
