| Description | Sentence alignment is a useful task with many applications in Natural Language Processing and Digital Humanities. This paper presents an evaluation of Vecalign, the state-of-the-art method for automatic sen- tence alignment, on two bilingual corpora built from literary texts. This preliminary study shows that Vecalign performs well for literary texts and gives insights on its remaining issues through a qualitative evaluation of the output alignments. |
