Updated corpus EPIC-EuroParl-UdS aids translation and interpreting research

This paper introduces EPIC-EuroParl-UdS, an updated corpus of European Parliament speeches and their translations/interpretations. The resource has been refined with corrected metadata, improved linguistic annotations, and new layers like word alignment and surprisal indices. It supports research into information-theoretic approaches to language variation, comparing written and spoken modes, and analyzing translationese. A new study within the paper validates the spoken data and evaluates GPT-2 and machine translation models on predicting filler particles in interpreting. AI

IMPACT Provides a refined dataset for research into information-theoretic approaches in language, potentially improving machine translation and interpreting models.
