ILSP Focused Crawler

# Domain-specific resources acquired with ILSP-FC

ILSP-FC [1] has been used in order to acquire several domain-specific datasets for training and evaluating domain-specific SMT systems. These datasets  include:

* [bilingual corpora](http://panacea-lr.eu/en/info-for-researchers/data-sets/bilingual-aligned-parallel-corpora/) in EN-EL and EN-FR (for the environment and labor legislation domains) that were then used by the PANACEA consortium for domain adaptation SMT experiments [2] and the generation of domain specific [bilingual glossaries](http://panacea-lr.eu/en/info-for-researchers/data-sets/bilingual-glossaries/) ; [monolingual corpora](http://panacea-lr.eu/en/info-for-researchers/data-sets/monolingual-corpora/) in EL, EN, ES, FR, and IT, and in the same domains, used for the creation of domain-specific [ngram lists](http://panacea-lr.eu/en/info-for-researchers/data-sets/monolingual-corpora-n-grams/).

* all combinations of DE, EL, EN, PT for the [automotive and medical domains](http://qt21.metashare.ilsp.gr/repository/search/?q=qtlp) in QTLaunchPad

* EN-HR bilingual corpora for the tourist domain [3]; EN-FI bilingual corpora used for the Abu-MaTran project submissions in WMT 2015 [4];

Additionally, experiments involving crawling public administration websites for the purposes of ELRC have generated bilingual collections in several language pairs, some examples of which are available at the following links: [EN-DE](http://nlp.ilsp.gr/elrc/output_bundesregierung.tmx.html) ; [EN-LV](http://nlp.ilsp.gr/elrc/output_eu2015_en-lv.tmx.html) ; [EN-GA](http://nlp.ilsp.gr/elrc/output_citizensinformation_en-ga.tmx.html).
