SwissAdmin: A multilingual tagged parallel corpus of press releases
Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2014)
Abstract
SwissAdmin is a new multilingual corpus of press releases from the Swiss Federal Administration, available in German, French, Italian and English. We provide SwissAdmin in three versions: (i) plain texts of approximately 6 to 8 million words per language; (ii) sentence-aligned bilingual texts for each language pair; (iii) a part-of-speech-tagged version consisting of annotations in both the Universal tagset and the richer Fips tagset, along with grammatical functions, verb valencies and collocations. The SwissAdmin corpus is freely available at www.latl.unige.ch/swissadmin.
