l This book evolved from the ARCADE evaluation exercise that
started in 1995. The project's goal is to evaluate alignment
systems for parallel texts, i. e., texts accompanied by their
translation. Thirteen teams from various places around the world
have participated so far and for the first time, some ten to
fifteen years after the first alignment techniques were designed,
the community has been able to get a clear picture of the behaviour
of alignment systems. Several chapters in this book describe the
details of competing systems, and the last chapter is devoted to
the description of the evaluation protocol and results. The
remaining chapters were especially commissioned from researchers
who have been major figures in the field in recent years, in an
attempt to address a wide range of topics that describe the state
of the art in parallel text processing and use. As I recalled in
the introduction, the Rosetta stone won eternal fame as the
prototype of parallel texts, but such texts are probably almost as
old as the invention of writing. Nowadays, parallel texts are
electronic, and they are be coming an increasingly important
resource for building the natural language processing tools needed
in the "multilingual information society" that is cur rently
emerging at an incredible speed. Applications are numerous, and
they are expanding every day: multilingual lexicography and
terminology, machine and human translation, cross-language
information retrieval, language learning, etc."
