- Abstract
- Text reuse is becoming a serious issue in many fields and research shows that it is much harder to detect when it occurs across languages. The recent rise in multi-lingual content on the Web has increased cross-language text reuse to an unprecedented scale. Although researchers have proposed methods to detect it, one major drawback is the unavailability of large-scale gold standard evaluation resources built on real cases. To overcome this problem, we propose a cross-language sentence/passage level text reuse corpus for the English-Urdu language pair. The Cross-Language English-Urdu Corpus (CLEU) has source text in English whereas the derived text is in Urdu. It contains in total 3,235 sentence/passage pairs manually tagged into three categories that is near copy, paraphrased copy, and independently written. Further, as a second contribution, we evaluate the Translation plus Mono-lingual Analysis method using three sets of experiments on the proposed dataset to highlight its usefulness. Evaluation results (f1=0.732 binary, f1=0.552 ternary classification) indicate that it is harder to detect cross-language real cases of text reuse, especially when the language pairs have unrelated scripts. The corpus is a useful benchmark resource for the future development and assessment of cross-language text reuse detection systems for the English-Urdu language pair.
