The toolperforms paragraph alignment at the first step of thealignment process, which is followed by sentence alignment. Description of thetool is followed by its evaluation. The paper describesan experiment with applying the CorAl aligner to a English-Croatian parallelcorpus of legislative domain using metrics of precision,recall and F1-measure. Results are discussed and the concluding sectionsdiscuss future directions of CorAl development. |
