earlier post. You do not need to be a member of the LDC to license the

A few LDC corpora that fit the bill include:</small><br>

LDC94T4A UN Parallel Text (Complete)<br>
LDC95T20 Hansard French/English<br>

LDC2001T57 TDT3 Multilanguage Text Version 2.0<br>
LDC2004T08 Hong Kong Parallel Text - note - this does require

LDC2004T18 Arabic English Parallel News Part 1<br>

<pre wrap="">Try TDT data and Broadcast News from the LDC. You must be an LDC member to
license the corpora.
However, be reminded that these "comparable" corpora still need to be
topic aligned to make them really comparable as they contain both on-topic
and off-topic documents (i.e. documents not on the same topic and
therefore not comparable).
Our paper on "Mining very non parallel corpora: Parallel sentence and
lexicon extraction by boostraping and EM" (Fung & Cheung 2004) in EMNLP
2004 describes our methodology and contains some usefual references.

hi all,
are there multilingual comparable corpora suitable for research on
paraphrases ?
for instance, two collections of articles from different sources
describing
same events *and* in different languages .
Any suggestions on how to build this kind of resources would be helpful
too.
thank you,
Grazia
