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 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 ; monolingual corpora in EL, EN, ES, FR, and IT, and in the same domains, used for the creation of domain-specific ngram lists.
• all combinations of DE, EL, EN, PT for the automotive and medical domains 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 ; EN-LV ; EN-GA.
