Apr 3, 2017
Pavel Pecina <pecina@ufal.mff.cuni.cz>
1. Description
This package contains data sets for development and testing of machine
translation of medical queries between Czech, English, French, German,
Hungarian, Polish, Spanish ans Swedish. The queries come from general
public and medical experts.
This is version 2.0 extending the previous version by adding Hungarian,
Polish, Spanish, and Swedish translations.
2. Preamble
2.1 Source
The original general public queries are sampled from the Health on the
Net Foundation (http://www.HealthOnNet.org) query log from

from the Trip database (http://www.tripdatabase.com) query log from
6/2011-12/2012.

3. Data
3.1 Description
The original queries in English were randomly selected from real user
query logs provided by Health on the Net foundation (750 queries by
general public) and from the Trip database [1] query log (758 queries
by medical professionals) and translated to Czech, German, French,
Hungarian, Polish, Spanish and Swedish by medical experts. The test
sets can be used, for example, for the development and testing of
machine translation of search queries in the medical domain. More
details are provided in [2].
3.2 Data format
Data format follows these rules:
* The data is split into 8 files, according to the section (dev/test)
and language (CS - Czech, DE - German, FR - French, EN - English, ES
- Spanish, HU - Hungarian, PL - Polish, SV - Swedish).
* The files are in plain text using the UTF-8 encoding.
* Each line contains a single query.
* Translations are identified by line numbers.
