PHINC: A Parallel Hinglish Social Media Code-Mixed Corpus for Machine Translation

Code-mixing is the phenomenon of using more than one language in a sentence. It is a very frequently observed pattern of communication on social media platforms. Flexibility to use mixed languages in one text message might help to communicate efficiently with the target audience. But, it adds to the challenge of processing and understanding natural language to a much larger extent. Here, we are presenting a parallel corpus of the 13,738 code-mixed English-Hindi sentences and their corresponding translation in English. The translations of sentences are done manually by the annotators. We are releasing the parallel corpus to facilitate future research opportunities for code-mixed machine translation.
