Subject:Free Multiparallel corpus UN GA resolutions (including Arabic)
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; white-space: normal; ">A new corpus has just been made available during Machine Translation<br>Summit XII conference. Some of you might be interested in it as well.<br><br>The corpus and related paper are now available from: <a href="http://www.uncorpora.org/">http://www.uncorpora.org</a> .<br><br>Some basic stats:<br><br>*) 6 languages, perfectly aligned on paragraph level: Arabic, Chinese,<br>English, French, Russian, Spanish<br>*) ~74000 paragraphs (* 6 languages)<br>*) ~3M tokens per language<br>*) Derived from the resolutions of the General Assembly of the United Nations.<br>*) The corpus is released in TMX (Translation Memory eXchange) form,<br>ready for processing with Open Source tools like Olifant or by<br>commercial tools like Trados.<br><br>With 3 million tokens per language, the corpus is somewhat small to be<br>a primary corpus for Machine Translation research, but it could be<br>useful as a supplementary one, especially for less-resourced languages<br>like Arabic, Chinese, Russian.<br><br>It is also suitable for terminology extraction, named entity<br>recognition, graph-based analysis techniques and other approaches<br>interesting within restricted-domain corpus.<br><br>It is open for any use (with citation). If you do use it and would<br>like more like this, a letter of appreciation and usage scenario could<br>help.<br><br>I am happy to field any questions about the corpus in private or public emails.<br><br>Regards,<br> Alex.<br></span>
