In general, this algorithm creates lexicon alignments without requiring annotated data nor linguistic knowledge. . Tarek Sherif originally proposed this algorithm as a part of his Mater thesis graduated in 2007 from University of Alberta. Sittichai Jiampojamarn later reimplemented this algorithm to the first version of m2m-aligner during its PhD at the department of Computing Science, University of Alberta. Since then, many refinements, improvements, and features have been included for various tasks.
