Dataset Card for MultiUN

Table of Contents

Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

The MultiUN parallel corpus is extracted from the United Nations Website , and then cleaned and converted to XML at Language Technology Lab in DFKI GmbH (LT-DFKI), Germany. The documents were published by UN from 2000 to 2009.

This is a collection of translated documents from the United Nations originally compiled by Andreas Eisele and Yu Chen (see http://www.euromatrixplus.net/multi-un/).

This corpus is available in all 6 official languages of the UN consisting of around 300 million words per language

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The underlying task is machine translation.

Languages

Parallel texts are present in all six official languages, namely Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish, with a small part of the documents available also in German.
