The Bible as a Corpus for Language Technologies

This work aims to create an aligned corpus of eleven Spanish translations of the Bible to advance computational linguistics in Spanish. The use of this corpus is essential for applications such as paraphrase detection, lexical grouping identification, and language model evaluation for search systems. In this way, the study covers various aspects of natural language processing, including similarity, lexical extraction, and bias analysis, with the goal of promoting the development of language technologies in Spanish.Keywords: Linguistic corpus; natural language processing; paraphrase detection; semantic clustering; question-answering systems.
