EuskoParl: a speech and text Spanish-Basque parallel corpus

摘要

The advances in corpus-based approaches and machine learning techniques have promoted the development of minority languages. The contribution of this work is to acquire a parallel corpus in Spanish and Basque with both text and speech data. In order to be able to compare the systems with those developed for other languages, Eu-roparl corpus was taken as a reference in both domain and size. The acquisition process, carried out within the Basque Parliament reports and speeches, involved subtle differences to that of Europarl acquisition. The resulting corpus is described and a few preliminary experiments on machine translation with Moses are reported.
