    <Paragraph position="0"> As of late-October 2002, we have been distributing the alignment data discussed in this paper for research and educational purposes.12 All the information on the article and sentence alignments are numerically encoded so that users who have the Yomiuri data can recover the results of alignments. The data also contains the top-150,000 one-to-one sentence alignments and the top-30,000 one-to-many sentence alignments as raw sentences. The Yomiuri Shimbun generously allowed us to distribute them for research and educational purposes.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> We have sent over 30 data sets to organizations on their request. About half of these were NLPrelated. The other half were linguistics-related. A few requests were from high-school and junior-highschool teachers of English. A psycho-linguist was also included. It is obvious that people from both inside and outside the NLP community are interested 12http://www.crl.go.jp/jt/a132/members/mutiyama/jea/index.html in this Japanese-English alignment data.</Paragraph>
