Evaluation Corpus

This section describes the procedure of creating the evaluation corpora: the manually aligned corpus (MAC) of Chinese-English literary texts and the Bible corpus aligned at the verse level.

MAC

Firstly, 5 chapters and their translations are sampled from each of the 6 novels included in MAC, obtaining a corpus of 30 bitexts. We then split the corpus into MAC-Dev and MAC-Test with the former containing 6 chapters and the latter 24 chapters.

The MAC-Test is saved in corpus/mac/test

The sampling schemes for building MAC-Test can be found at corpus/mac/test/meta_data.tsv
