Data
We have collected English-Odia parallel and monolingual data from the
available public websites for NLP research in Odia.
The parallel corpus consists of English-Odia parallel Bible, Odia
digital library, and Odisha Goverment websites. It covers bible,
literature, goverment of Odisha and its policies. We have processed the
raw data collected from the websites, performed alignments (a mix of
manual and automatic alignments) and release the corpus in a form ready
for various NLP tasks.
The Odia monolingual data consists of Odia-Wikipedia and Odia e-magazine
websites. Because the major portion of data is extracted from
Odia-Wikipedia, it covers all kinds of domains. The e-magazines data
mostly cover the literature domain. We have preprocessed the monolingual
data including de-duplication, text normalization, and sentence
segmentation to make it ready for various NLP tasks.
Corpus Formats
Both corpora are in simple tab-delimited plain text files.
The parallel corpus files have three columns:
- the original book/source of the sentence pair
- the English sentence
- the corresponding Odia sentence
The monolingual corpus has a varying number of columns:
- each line corresponds to one paragraph (or related unit) of the
original source
- each tab-delimited unit corresponds to one sentence in the paragraph
