MITRE Chinese-English Semiconductor Abstract Parallel Text

This dataset consists of  parallel sentences from a collection of scientific articles on semiconductors published in Mandarin and translated into English by translators with particular expertise in the technical area. Translators were instructed to err on the side of literal translation if required, but to maintain the technical writing style of the source and make the resulting English as natural as possible.  The translators were given specific guidelines for translation, and those are included in this distribution. All translations were subject to a three-step quality control process. 

There are 2169 lines of parallel Mandarin and English, with a total of 125302 characters of Mandarin and 64851 words of English, presented in a separate plain text file for each language.  The sentences were translated in sequential order and are presented here in a scrambled order, such that parallel sentences at identical line numbers are translations. For example, the 31st line of the English file is a translation of the 31st line of the Mandarin file. The original ordering of the lines will not be provided.
