==================================================================== Multilingual-BC3 v1.0: Multilingual BC3 Email Dataset ==================================================================== ============ Introduction ============ Multilingual-BC3 is a dataset comprises multilingual conversations that have taken place via email. The Multilingual-BC3 is not a real multilingual dataset and it is constructed by manually translating some parts of BC3 dataset. The dataset is produced by three people at the Intelligent Information Systems Lab, University of Tehran. The original BC3 annotated with sentence labeles such as Speech Acts, and Subjectivity. In addition, ConThread-BC3 is a version of BC3 that is annotated with conversation treads and body-text segmentation information. These extra information are language independent so they can easily be extended to Multilingual-BC3. ================== Translation Policy ================== The conversations in dataset are taken place in two languages, Persaian and English. To simulate real multilingual conversations, The translation is done by a particular policy. We assume each person only send email in one language. Thus, we select 25 Person-ID from 160 Person-ID to translate their emails. Selected Person-IDs and their sent Emails are listed in Table 1. (Figure 1 describes the table scheme) FIGURE 1. TABLE SCHEME DESCRIPTION =============================================================================================== People ID ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ... ... ... ... =============================================================================================== These people are selected such that after translating all their emails, each conversation thread in dataset be a multilingual conversation. In other words, each conversation includes emails in both languages. TABLE 1.

emails from 261 email have been translated. It is noteworthy that if a translated email has been quoted in another emails, The quoted parts in those emails are also exchanged by its equivalent translation. In this way, some emails' body text beacme mixed-language. (e.g. The main content may be in different language from quoted parts). It should also be said that there are two versions of the Multilingual-BC3. The first one is multilingual version of the original BC3 dataset and the second one is the multilingual version of ConThread-BC3. ======= License ======= The Multilingual-BC3 Corpuse by Mostafa Dehghani is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
