  We present a pattern matching method for compiling a bilingual lexicon of
nouns and proper nouns from unaligned, noisy parallel texts of
Asian/Indo-European language pairs. Tagging information of one language is
used. Word frequency and position information for high and low frequency words
are represented in two different vector forms for pattern matching. New anchor
point finding and noise elimination techniques are introduced. We obtained a
73.1\% precision. We also show how the results can be used in the compilation
of domain-specific noun phrases.
