Description:		TREQ exploits the knowledge embedded in the parallel corpora and produces a set of translation equivalents (a translation lexicon), based on a 1:1 mapping hypothesis. The program uses almost no linguistic knowledge, relying on statistical evidence and some simplifying assumptions. The extraction process is based on a testing approach. It generates first a list of translation equivalent candidates and then successively extracts the most likely translation equivalence pairs. It does not require a pre-existing bilingual lexicon for the considered languages. Yet, if such a lexicon exists, it can be used to eliminate spurious candidate translation equivalence pairs and thus to speed up the process and increase its accuracy. The algorithm relies on some pre-processing of the bitext: sentence aligner, tokeniser (using [[(http://www.lpl.univaix.fr/projects/multext/MtSeg|MtSeg]]), a collocation extractor (unaware of translation equivalence), POS-tagger, lemmatiser.
