+### Biomedical Domain Corpus for EN-FR
+
+This repository contains biomedical domain data scraped from Wikipedia for the French-English language pair. We first scraped in-domain data and extracted parallel sentences using three similarity thresholds i.e. Threshold 90, 85, and 80 (as repo folders present their respective threshold). In this first development phase, we had three data files ( Threshold 90, 85, and 80). As this data had many out-domain sentences, we applied a second in-domain filter to this data with a focus on pertaining biomedical domain sentences. In this filter, we retrieved in-domain sentences based on their proximity with in-domain data (Medline titles) and again retrieved using three different thresholds: Threshold 20, 10, and 0. So we have three data files here against each threshold file (developed at the first data collection phase) i.e.
+
+Threshold90: biofiltered t20,t10, and t0.
+
+Threshold85: biofiltered t20,t10, and t0.
+
+Threshold80: biofiltered t20,t10, and t0.

+
+## Corpus Details
+  - **Total Sentences:** 6.3 million
+    - Threshold-90:  136,854 sentences
+    - Threshold-85:  498,776 sentences
+    - Threshold-80:  801,268 sentences

+
+## Usage
+These resources are intended to facilitate research and development in the field of Biomedical domain MT. 
+They can be used to train new models or improve existing ones, enabling high-quality domain-specific
+machine translation between English and French scripts.

Models built with sentences mined from in domain corpora without domain knowledge performed poorly, whereas model performance improved by more than 2.3 BLEU points on average with further domain centric filtering. We have used Large Language Models for selecting similar and domain aligned sentences. Our experiments show the importance of inclusion of domain knowledge in sentence selection methodologies even if the initial comparable corpora are in domain.",
