Wilker Ferreira Aziz, Lucia Specia · 2011
This paper reports the fully automatic compilation of parallel cor- pora for Brazilian Portuguese. Scientific news texts available in Brazilian Por- tuguese, English and Spanish are automatically crawled from a multilingual Brazilian magazine. The texts are then automatically aligned at document- and sentence-level. The resulting corpora contain about 2,700 parallel documents totaling over 150,000 aligned sentences each. The quality of the corpora and their usefulness are tested in an experiment with machine translation.
