<div dir="ltr">Thanks Amin,<br>As I know about SCICT corpus, it is a big corpus of collections of classic novels that the project has been finished in summer. I don't think the corpus is completely available but if you live in Iran I think it's easy to obtain that dataset. I think you should contact with people in charge in SCICT. <br>

<font>Dear Karine,<br>
the corpus that you talked about (in Payame Noor University of
Yazd) is actually the one which is available in ELRA. </font><small><font>There
is also another parallel corpus entitled PEN, developed by myself.
It is not still publicly available, but I'm going to publish it.
In the following paper you can find some information about it: <br>
Mohammad Amin Farajian (2011). <a href="http://world-comp.org/p2011/ICA4953.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PEN: Parallel English-Persian News Corpus</a>.
Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (ICAI'11), Nevada, USA.
<br><br>
There are some other researchers (Dr. khadivi in Amirkabir
University, Dr. Faili in University of Tehran, Dr. Analoui in Iran
University of Science and Technology) and </font></small><font>research centers (ITRC and SCICT) </font><small><font>
in Iran which are working on SMT and are building some parallel
corpora, but as I know their corpora are not available yet.</font>
<font><br><br>
Best regards,</font>

<br>
According to this website<br>
<a href="http://opus.lingfil.uu.se/" target="_blank">http://opus.lingfil.uu.se/</a><br>
There are 3 freely available parallel corpora for
persian-english:<br>
TEP<br>
KDE<br>
OpenSubtitles<br>
<br>
I've noticed other people, especially in Tehran, are also
working on MT and collect data, eg.<br>
