5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We proposed a lnethod of extracting bilingual text pairs from a comparable corpus. The method is based on an existing corpus-based CLIR method and uses bootstrapping. Although our research is in the preliminary stage of development and tested with artificial corpora consisting of English and Japanese patent texts, the bootstrapping led to nmch better results for the task of extracting translation pairs than the results produced by a normal CLIR method, and the extracted translation pairs could be useful for improving the results of the normal CLIR when we used them as a training corpus.</Paragraph>
