    abstract = "We address in this paper the assisted construction of bilingual thematic comparable corpora by means of co-clustering bilingual documents collected from raw sources such as the Web. The proposed approach is based on a quantitative comparability measure and a co-clustering approach which allow to mix similarity measures existing in each of the two linguistic spaces with a ``thematic'' comparability measure that defines a mapping between these two spaces. With the improvement of the co-clustering ($k$-medoids) performance we get, we use a comparability threshold and a manual verification to ensure the good and robust alignment of co-clusters (co-medoids). Finally, from any available raw corpus, we enrich the aligned clusters in order to provide ``thematic'' comparable corpora of good quality and controlled size. On a case study that exploit raw web data, we show that this approach scales reasonably well and is quite suited for the construction of thematic comparable corpora of good quality."
