Dear all EAMT members, I'm Toshiaki Nakazawa from JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency), Japan. This is an announcement of the newly published Japanese-English and Japanese-Chinese parallel corpus.
Best regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear all, This is an announcement from the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) regarding the release of the Asian Scientific Paper Excerpt Corpus (ASPEC), created jointly by JST and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). ASPEC is the world's first large-scale scientific paper bilingual corpus. It consists of approximately 3 million Japanese-English parallel sentences from paper abstracts (ASPEC-JE) and approximately 0.68 million Japanese-Chinese paper excerpts (ASPEC-JC). This corpus is one of the fruits of the Japanese-Chinese machine translation project conducted between 2006 and 2010 using the Special Coordination Funds for Promoting Science and Technology. ASPEC-JE was created from approximately 2 million Japanese-English academic paper abstracts owned by JST and ASPEC-JC was created by translating Japanese articles from JST's e-journal site J-STAGE into Chinese with permission from the respective publishing organizations. For further details, please refer to the link below. The data is free to use on the acceptance of the usage agreement. http://orchid.kuee.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ASPEC/ Using ASPEC, a new open evaluation campaign for machine translation of scientific papers named WAT, Workshop on Asian Translation, is under consideration. This workshop is planned to be held in about September, 2014. A detailed description of this workshop will be announced soon. Any enquiries regarding this data should be made to the following address: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Toshiaki Nakazawa (Researcher) Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) (@ Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University) Yoshida-honmachi, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, 606-8501, Japan tel: +81-75-753-5346, fax: +81-75-753-5962 [email protected] / [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mt-list site list [email protected] http://lists.eamt.org/mailman/listinfo/mt-list
