Action de Recherche Concertée sur l’Alignement de Documents et son Evaluation

Presentation

The ARCADE project, started in 1995 and achieved in 1999, was designed to provide standard methods for the evaluation and comparison of French-English parallel text alignment systems. The ARCADE II aims at exploring the techniques of multilingual text alignment through a fine evaluation of the existing techniques and the development of new alignment methods.

ARCADE II consists of two tracks devoted to the evaluation of alignment at sentence and word level respectively. It differs from previous ARCADE in the multilingual aspect and the investigation of lexical alignment. The concerned languages include 5 European languages (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish) and 6 languages of different writing systems (Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Greek and Persian). Multilingual reference corpora have been made available for the evaluation exercise.
