Parallel corpora for medium density languages
Abstract
The choice of natural language technology appropriate for a given language is greatly impacted by density (availability of digitally stored material).More than half of the world speaks medium density languages, yet many of the methods appropriate for high or low density languages yield suboptimal results when applied to the medium density case.In this paper we describe a general methodology for rapidly collecting, building, and aligning parallel corpora for medium density languages, illustrating our main points on the case of Hungarian, Romanian, and Slovenian.We also describe and evaluate the hybrid sentence alignment method we are using.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
