Medical Dissertations Corpus in Albanian (MeDAl)

MeDAl is a corpus of PhD dissertations from the University of Medicine, Tirana, built to support Albanian medical natural language processing (NLP), a severely under-resourced setting. This repository holds two releases: v2/ — MeDAl 2.0 (current release): 454 dissertations (2010–2024), 44 medical specializations, a 286-document bilingual Albanian-English subset, structured metadata, and two full technical-validation experiments (machine translation and text classification). v1/ — MeDAl 1.0 (2024 pilot): the original 323-document monolingual pilot corpus, kept for provenance.
