[CWB] sentence-Aligned parallel corpus in CWB

[Marc Reznicek]

Hi Serge,

thanks a lot. Is it posible to nest segments inside each other like in the following example?

<seg id="1000001">
	<seg id="1000002">
		It
	</s>
	<seg id="1000003">
		rains
	</>
	<seg id="1000004">
		.
	</s>
</s>

To model sentence and word alignment at the same time?
Best,

Marc

Hi Marc,

In the absence of an official tutorial, the way I process parallel corpora in CWB is by creating two corpora with a special structural attribute with shared
ids:
<seg id="1000001">
Resumption      NN      resumption
of      IN      of
the     DT      the
session NN      session
</seg>
<seg id="1000002">
I       PP      I
declare VVP     declare
resumed VVD     resume
the     DT      the
session NN      session
...

<seg id="1000001">
Wiederaufnahme  NN      Wiederaufnahme
der     ART     d
Sitzungsperiode NN      Sitzungsperiode
</seg>
<seg id="1000002">
Ich     PPER    ich
erkläre VVFIN   erklären
die     ART     d
am      APPRART am
Freitag NN      Freitag
...

After that I run a script with the parameters corresponding to the names of these two corpora

> echo >>/usr/local/share/cwb/registry/$1 ALIGNED $2 cwb-align -V seg -o 
> $1-$2.align $1 $2 seg 1>$1-$2.log cwb-align-encode -D $1-$2.align 
> 1>>$1-$2.log echo >>/usr/local/share/cwb/registry/$2 ALIGNED $1 
> cwb-align -V seg -o $2-$1.align $2 $1 seg 1>$2-$1.log cwb-align-encode 
> -D $2-$1.align 1>>$2-$1.log

I hope this helps.

Best,
Serge
