BOUA_PARALLEL Dataset

Dataset Summary

BOUA_PARALLEL is a parallel dataset for Valencian (VA) to Spanish (ES) translation. It consists of sentence pairs in Valencian and Spanish, along with the source file from which the data was extracted. This dataset is designed to support machine translation tasks and linguistic research.

Dataset Structure

Each row in the dataset includes the following columns:

• VA: A sentence in Valencian.
• ES: The corresponding translation of the Valencian sentence in Spanish.
• Source: The name of the source file from which the sentence pair was extracted.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

This dataset is aimed at promoting the development of Machine Translation between Valencian and Spanish, supporting research in multilingual NLP and facilitating the development of translation systems for these language pairs.

Source Data

The parallel data in this dataset is extracted from web documents published by the Boletín Oficial de la Universidad de Alicante (BOUA)..

Data Filtering and Normalization

All data underwent rigorous filtering and normalization:

• Alignment filtering: Sentence- and paragraph-level alignments were calculated with the gplsi translation-alignment tool.
• Language identification: Valencian documents are filtered using a private discriminative tool to differentiate them from Catalan.
• Deduplication: The filtered datasets were deduplicated to remove redundant sentence pairs

The filtered and normalized datasets were then concatenated to form the final corpus.

Funding

This work is funded by the Ministerio para la Transformación Digital y de la Función Pública - Funded by EU – NextGenerationEU within the framework of the project Desarrollo de Modelos ALIA.
