| ### [Dataset Summary](#dataset-summary) | |
| This release contains 1.3 million pairs of aligned text chunks (sentences or smaller fragments) | |
| from the official records (Hansards) of the 36th Canadian Parliament. | |
| The complete Hansards of the debates in the House and Senate of the 36th Canadian Parliament, | |
| as far as available, were aligned. The corpus was then split into 5 sets of sentence pairs: | |
| training (80% of the sentence pairs), two sets of sentence pairs for testing (5% each), and | |
| two sets of sentence pairs for final evaluation (5% each). The current release consists of the | |
| training and testing sets. The evaluation sets are reserved for future MT evaluation purposes | |
| and currently not available. | |
| Caveats | |
| 1. This release contains only sentence pairs. Even though the order of the sentences is the same | |
| as in the original, there may be gaps resulting from many-to-one, many-to-many, or one-to-many | |
| alignments that were filtered out. Therefore, this release may not be suitable for | |
| discourse-related research. | |
| 2. Neither the sentence splitting nor the alignments are perfect. In particular, watch out for | |
| pairs that differ considerably in length. You may want to filter these out before you do | |
| any statistical training. | |
| The alignment of the Hansards was performed as part of the ReWrite project under funding | |
| from the DARPA TIDES program. | |
