Milimili. Collecting Parallel Data via Crowdsourcing
This addresses the need for affordable parallel data collection for low-resource languages, but it is incremental as it builds on existing crowdsourcing approaches.
The paper tackles the problem of collecting parallel corpora by proposing a crowdsourcing methodology that is more cost-effective than professional translation, though it sacrifices quality, and provides experimental data for Chechen-Russian and Fula-English language pairs.
We present a methodology for gathering a parallel corpus through crowdsourcing, which is more cost-effective than hiring professional translators, albeit at the expense of quality. Additionally, we have made available experimental parallel data collected for Chechen-Russian and Fula-English language pairs.
