Identification of Transliterated Foreign Words in Hebrew Script

Abstract. We present a loosely-supervised method for context-free identification of transliterated foreign names and borrowed words in Hebrew text. The method is purely statistical and does not require the use of any lexicons or linguistic analysis tool for the source languages (Hebrew, in our case). It also does not require any manually annotated data for training
