NTCIR-9 PatentMT (Patent Mahine Translation Test Collection)

The NTCIR-9 Patent Machine Translation　Test Collection is intended to evaluate the quality of machine translations (MT)　from Chinese to English (C-E), Japanese to English (J-E) and English to Japanese (E-J) targeting patent information. There are three subtasks:

The collection includes:

• Training Data for J to E and E to J : Approximately 3.2 million patent parallel sentence pairs
• Development Data: 2,000 patent parallel sentence pairs for each language pair and context documents
• Test Data: 2,000 patent test sentences and 2,000 reference sentences for each language pair, and context documents
• Human judgment results for translation results

The document collection includes unexamined Japanese patent applications published in 1993-2005 and patent grant data published by the USPTO (U.S. Patent & Trademark Office) in 1993-2005. The document collection does not include diagrams.
