| PatTR is a parallel corpus extracted from documents in the MAREC patent | |
| collection [1]. The first release contains 5 million French-German | |
| parallel sentences collected from title, abstract and claims sections. | |

| *.de files contain German sentences, *.fr files corresponding French | |
| sentences. *.meta contain information about the document the | |
| sentences were extracted from as tab-separated values: | |
| - document id | |
| - patent family id | |
| - publication data | |
| - IPC up to subclass level, comma-separated | |
| 2. DATA | |
| The corpus is split into files according to the text sections of a | |
| patent document: title, abstract, claims and description. | |
| Parallel data from the title, abstract and claims sections were | |
| extracted from documents belonging to the European Patent Office | |
| (EPO) [2] and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) [3] | |
| corpora in MAREC. Both resources feature multilingual documents that | |
| contain for example both a French and a German abstract. | |
| All sections were sentence-aligned using the Gargantua aligner [4]. | |
| Preprocessing was done automatically. Sentence boundaries were detected | |
| using the Europarl processing tools [5]. | |
