Translation Alignment for Ancient Greek: Annotation Guidelines and Gold Standards. Palladino, C., Shamsian, F., Yousef, T., Wright, D. J., Ferreira, A. d., & Reis, M. F. d. Journal of Open Humanities Data, November, 2023.
Paper doi abstract bibtex This paper covers three datasets containing texts in Ancient Greek, manually aligned at word level against translations in English (Grc-Eng), Portuguese (Grc-Por) and Latin (Grc-Lat). The datasets were collected by two domain experts through annotation on the Ugarit Translation Alignment Editor (https://ugarit.ialigner.com/). The quality of each dataset was measured through Inter-Annotator-Agreement (IAA) above 80%. Each dataset contains the aligned pairs and an Annotation Style Guide, and serves as a Gold Standard for translation alignment of Ancient Greek, for the evaluation of automatic translation alignment models, and as high-quality training data. The Annotation Style Guide provides a starting point to approach the task of translation alignment for research and teaching. The data is stored on GitHub and Zenodo.
