Parallel texts dataset for Uzbek-Kazakh machine translation.

This paper presents a parallel corpus of raw texts between the Uzbek and Kazakh languages as a dataset for machine translation applications, focusing on the data collection process, dataset description, and its potential for reuse. The dataset-building process includes three separate stages, starting with a tiny portion of already available parallel data, then some more compiled from openly available resources like literature books, and web news texts, which were aligned using the sentence alignment method, encompassing a wide range of topics and genres. Finally, the majority of the dataset was taken from a raw text corpus in Uzbek and manually translated into Kazakh by a group of experts who are fluent in both languages.
