- FutureWork: cites the work as a direction for future research.

Your answer should be a single word from the following list of options: ["Background", "Extends", "Uses", "Motivation", "CompareOrContrast", "FutureWork"]. Do not include any other text in your response.

Section Title:
method

Context before the citation:
A number of alignment techniques have been proposed, varying from statistical methods (Brown et al., 1991; Gale and Church, 1991) to lexical methods (Kay and Roscheisen, 1993; Chen, 1993). Aligning English-Chinese parallel texts is already very difficult because of the great differences in the syntactic structures and writing systems of the two languages. Some are highly parallel and easy to align while others can be very noisy.

Citation Sentence:
A number of alignment techniques have been proposed , varying from statistical methods ( Brown et al. , 1991 ; Gale and Church , 1991 ) to lexical methods ( Kay and Roscheisen , 1993 ; Chen , 1993 ) .

Context after the citation:
The method we adopted is that of Simard et al. (1992). Because it considers both length similarity and cognateness as alignment criteria, the method is more robust and better able to deal with noise than pure length-based methods. Cognates are identical sequences of characters in corresponding words in two languages. They are commonly found in English and French.
