Description:*Introduction* GALE English-Chinese Parallel Aligned Treebank -- Training was developed by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and contains 196,123 tokens of word aligned English and Chinese parallel text with treebank annotations. This material was used as training data in the DARPA GALE (Global Autonomous Language Exploitation) program. Parallel aligned treebanks are treebanks annotated with morphological and syntactic structures aligned at the sentence level and the sub-sentence level. Such data sets are useful for natural language processing and related fields, including automatic word alignment system training and evaluation, transfer-rule extraction, word sense disambiguation, translation lexicon extraction and cultural heritage and cross-linguistic studies. With respect to machine translation system development, parallel aligned treebanks may improve system performance with enhanced syntactic parsers, better rules and knowledge about language pairs and reduced word error rate. The English source data was translated into Chinese. Chinese and English treebank annotations were performed independently. The parallel texts were then word aligned. The material in this release corresponds to portions of the treebanked data in OntoNotes 3.0 (LDC2009T24) and OntoNotes 4.0 (LDC2011T03). *Data* This release consists of English source broadcast programming (CNN, NBC/MSNBC) and web data collected by LDC in 2005 and 2006. The distribution by genre, words, character tokens, treebank tokens and segments appears below: Genre Files Words CharTokens CTBTokens Segments bc 6 60,0061 90,092 62,438 3,763 wb 15 70,687 106,031 69,309 3,238 Total 21 130,748 196,123 131,747 7,001 Note that all token counts are based on the Chinese data only. One token is equivalent to one character and one word is equivalent to 1.5 characters. The word alignment task consisted of the following components: * Identifying, aligning, and tagging eight different types of links * Identifying, attaching, and tagging local-level unmatched words * Identifying and tagging sentence/discourse-level unmatched words * Identifying and tagging all instances of Chinese 的 (DE) except when they were a part of a semantic link This release contains nine types of files - English raw source files, Chinese raw translation files, Chinese character tokenized files, Chinese CTB tokenized files, English tokenized files, Chinese treebank files, English treebank files, character-based word alignment files, and CTB-based word alignment files. *Samples* Please view the following samples: * English raw source * Chinese raw translation * Chinese character tokenized * Chinese CTB tokenized * English tokenized * Chinese treebank * English treebank * Character-based word alignment * CTB-based word alignment *Sponsorship* This work was supported in part by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, GALE Program Grant No. HR0011-06-1-0003.
