Company description: The CJK Dictionary Institute, Inc. (CJKI) specializes in CJK and Arabic lexicography. CJKI is headed by Jack Halpern, editor-in-chief of the New Japanese-English Character Dictionary and various other CJK dictionaries, which has become a standard reference work for studying Japanese. CJKI has become one of the world's prime resources for CJK lexical resources, and is contributing to CJK information processing technology by providing high-quality lexical resources and consulting services to some of the world's leading software developers and IT companies, including Fujitsu, Baidu, Sony, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Amazon. We compile dictionaries and lexical databases of general vocabulary, proper nouns and technical terms for CJK languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) containing millions of entries (currently eight million), as well as CJK/Arabic romanization systems, databases of names and variants, a comprehensive Spanish-English dictionary, and various others. In addition, we offer a full range of professional consulting services on CJK linguistics and lexicography. Some of our recent projects include a Database of Arabic Names and a Japanese Phonological Database. Our comprehensive databases are used for: 1. Localization and globalization 2. Natural language processing (NLP) applications such as information retrieval 3. CJK input method editors (IME) and front-end processors 4. Machine translation (MT)and online translation tools such as Babylon 5. Security applications such as anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism watch lists, and identity theft prevention 6.
