From the Corpora-List "Release: 23M German-English parallel sentences from patent text"

Submitted by cristina.españa on 6 March, 2013 - 16:50

Institut für Computerlinguistik -- Universität Heidelberg

We are happy to announce the release of a parallel corpus of patent text for the German-English language pair. The corpus has been constructed from EPO, WIPO and USPTO patent documents extracted from the MAREC collection and contains 23 million sentence pairs from all patent text sections.

All sentences are labeled with metadata: patent document id, patent family, patent classification and publication date.

The corpus is distributed under a Creative Commons License.

Manual evaluation of patents (and MOLTO at MTSummit)

Submitted by cristina.españa on 23 September, 2011 - 10:17

The MTSummit 2011 has been this week, including a workshop specialised on patent translation. MOLTO has been presented with talk at the workshop.

There have been presentations of the most important patents offices and, as expected, all of them apply manual evaluation to their translations. It seems interesting to us to use similar criteria to theirs in our evaluation.

EPO gives OK for the patent corpus

Submitted by aarne.ranta on 9 September, 2011 - 15:31

We have now received OK from the EPO to proceed in getting a better license for the patent corpus we need for carrying out our work in WP5 and WP7. This means that we can publish the results more freely than with the previous, personal license.
