Automatic extraction of multilingual dictionary items from non-parallel, multilingual, semi-structured data

One or more computer-readable hardware storage device having stored therein a set of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a computer, causes the computer to execute operations comprising:

• receiving at a second publication system, in a first language, from a first publication system, a first plurality of user queries for a product, and a first plurality of result sets in the first language that are responsive to the first plurality of user queries, respective ones of the first plurality of result sets evoking a respective set of implicit user behaviors;
• receiving, at the first publication system, in a second language, from the second publication system, a second plurality of user queries for a product, and a second plurality of result sets in the second language that are responsive to the second plurality of user queries, respective ones of the second plurality of result sets evoking a respective set of implicit user behaviors;
• detecting a number of the first plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors;
• detecting a number of the second plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors;
• detecting that the number of the first plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors in response to the first plurality of result sets satisfies a first threshold and the number of the second plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors in response to the second plurality of result sets satisfies a second threshold;
• and
• responsive to detecting that the number of the first plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors satisfies the first threshold and the number of the second plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors satisfies the second threshold, providing an indication that a query of the first plurality of user queries and a query of the second plurality of user queries are likely to be translations of each other.

A system comprising one or more hardware processors configured to:

• receive at a second publication system, from a first publication system, in a first language, a first plurality of user queries for a product, and a first plurality of result sets in the first language, that are responsive to the first plurality of user queries, wherein respective ones of the first plurality of result sets evoke a respective set of implicit user behaviors;
• receive, at the first publication system, from the second publication system, in a second language, a second plurality of user queries for a product in a second language, and a second plurality of result sets in the second language, that are responsive to the second plurality of user queries, wherein respective ones of the second plurality of result sets evoke a respective set of implicit user behaviors;
• detect, by a user behavior module of a machine translation application at the second publication system, a number of the first plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors;
• detect, by a user behavior module of a machine translation application at the first publication system, a number of the second plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors;
• detect, by a decision application, that the number of the first plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors satisfies a first threshold and the number of the second plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors satisfies a second threshold;
• and
• responsive to detection that the number of the first plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors satisfies the first threshold and the number of the second plurality of result sets that evokes implicit positive user behaviors satisfies the second threshold, provide an indication that a query of the first plurality of user queries and a query of the second plurality of user queries are likely to be translations of each other.
