This paper presents transliteration mining on the ACL 2010 NEWS workshop shared transliteration mining task data. Transliteration mining was done using a generative transliteration model applied on the source language and whose output was constrained on the words in the target language. A total of 30 runs were performed on 5 language pairs, with 6 runs for each language pair. In the presence of limited resources, the runs explored the use of phonetic conflation and iterative training of the transliteration model to improve recall. Using letter conflation improved recall by as much as 48%, with improvements in recall dwarfing drops in precision. Using iterative training improved recall, but often at the cost of significant drops in precision. The best runs typically used both letter conflation and iterative learning.
