We first define a general approach to the problem, and we empirically compare results obtained using log-likelihood-ratios and Fisher's exact test, applied to measuring strength of bilingual word associations.}, publisher = {Association for Computational Linguistics}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/on-log-likelihood-ratios-and-the-significance-of-rare-events/}, }
