 Description
MEBA is a lexical aligner, implemented in C#, based on an iterative algorithm that uses pre-processing steps: sentence alignment ([[http://www.clarin.eu/tools/sal-sentence-aligner|SAL]]), tokenization, POS-tagging and lemmatization (through [[http://www.clarin.eu/tools/ttl-tokenizing-tagging-and-lemmatizing-free-running-texts|TTL]], sentence chunking. Similar to YAWA aligner, MEBA generates the links step by step, beginning with the most probable (anchor links). The links to be added at any later step are supported or restricted by the links created in the previous iterations. The aligner has different weights and different significance thresholds on each feature and iteration. Each of the iterations can be configured to align different categories of tokens (named entities, dates and numbers, content words, functional words, punctuation) in decreasing order of statistical evidence. MEBA has an individual F-measure of 81.71% and it is currently integrated in the platform [[http://www.clarin.eu/tools/cowal-combined-word-aligner|COWAL]].
