Corpus of 75 parallel texts, simplified on two levels, annotated with RST. The RST annotations can be found in the rst/ folder, separated according to the complexity level. The aligned files can be found in the alignments/ folder and the original texts in the original_texts folder.
The alignments/ folder contains three subfolders:
- in
or-b1the sentences from the original texts are on the line that corresponds to the line in the B1 text or-a2same but for the A2 textsb1-a2the sentences from the B1 texts are on the line that corresponds to the line in the A2 text
If there are multiple sentences on one line, that means that multiple sentences were aligned to one sentence. If the line is empty, this means that no alignment was found.
More information on the files can be found in our paper. If you use any of the data please cite this paper!
