We present a test corpus of audio recordings and transcriptions of presentations of students' enterprises together with their slides and web-pages. The corpus is intended for evaluation of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, especially in conditions where the prior availability of in-domain vocabulary and named entities is benefitable.
The corpus consists of 39 presentations in English, each up to 90 seconds long, and slides and web-pages in Czech, Slovak, English, German, Romanian, Italian or Spanish.
The speakers are high school students from European countries with English as their second language.
We benchmark three baseline ASR systems on the corpus and show their imperfection.
Data

Bengali Visual Genome (BVG for short) 1.0 has similar goals as Hindi Visual Genome (HVG) 1.1: to support the Bengali language. Bengali Visual Genome 1.0 is the multi-modal dataset in Bengali for machine translation and image
captioning. Bengali Visual Genome is a multimodal dataset consisting of text and images suitable for English-to-Bengali multimodal machine translation tasks and multimodal research. We follow the same selection of short English segments (captions) and the associated images from Visual Genome as HGV 1.1 has. For BVG, we manually translated these captions from English to Bengali taking the associated images into account. The manual translation is performed by the native Bengali speakers without referring to any machine translation system.
The training set contains 29K segments. Further 1K and 1.6K segments are provided in development and test sets, respectively, which follow the same (random) sampling from the original Hindi Visual Genome. A third test set is
called the ``challenge test set'' and consists of 1.4K segments. The challenge test set was created for the WAT2019 multi-modal task by searching for (particularly) ambiguous English words based on the embedding similarity and
manually selecting those where the image helps to resolve the ambiguity. The surrounding words in the sentence however also often include sufficient cues to identify the correct meaning of the ambiguous word.
Dataset Formats
---------------
The multimodal dataset contains both text and images.
The text parts of the dataset (train and test sets) are in simple tab-delimited plain text files.
All the text files have seven columns as follows:
Column1 - image_id
Column2 - X
Column3 - Y
Column4 - Width
Column5 - Height
Column6 - English Text
Column7 - Bengali Text
The image part contains the full images with the corresponding image_id as the file name. The X, Y, Width and Height columns indicate the rectangular region in the image described by the caption.

ELITR Minuting Corpus consists of transcripts of meetings in Czech and English, their manually created summaries ("minutes") and manual alignments between the two.
Czech meetings are in the computer science and public administration domains and English meetings are in the computer science domain.
Each transcript has one or multiple corresponding minutes files. Alignments are only provided for a portion of the data.
This corpus contains 59 Czech and 120 English meeting transcripts, consisting of 71097 and 87322 dialogue turns respectively. For Czech meetings, we provide 147 total minutes with 55 of them aligned. For English meetings, it is 256 total minutes with 111 of them aligned.
Please find a more detailed description of the data in the included README and stats.tsv files.

Eyetracked Multi-Modal Translation (EMMT) is a simultaneous eye-tracking, 4-electrode EEG and audio corpus for multi-modal reading and translation scenarios. It contains monocular eye movement recordings, audio data and 4-electrode wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) data of 43 participants while engaged in sight translation supported by an image.
The details about the experiment and the dataset can be found in the README file.
ESIC (Europarl Simultaneous Interpreting Corpus) is a corpus of 370 speeches (10 hours) in English, with manual transcripts, transcribed simultaneous interpreting into Czech and German, and parallel translations.
The corpus contains source English videos and audios. The interpreters' voices are not published within the corpus, but there is a tool that downloads them from the web of European Parliament, where they are publicly avaiable.
The transcripts are equipped with metadata (disfluencies, mixing voices and languages, read or spontaneous speech, etc.), punctuated, and with word-level timestamps.
The speeches in the corpus come from the European Parliament plenary sessions, from the period 2008-11. Most of the speakers are MEP, both native and non-native speakers of English. The corpus contains metadata about the speakers (name, surname, id, fraction) and about the speech (date, topic, read or spontaneous).
The current version of ESIC is v1.0. It has validation and evaluation parts.

Hausa Visual Genome 1.0, a multimodal dataset consisting of text and images suitable for English-to-Hausa multimodal machine translation tasks and multimodal research. We follow the same selection of short English segments (captions) and the associated images from Visual Genome as the dataset Hindi Visual Genome 1.1 has. We automatically translated the English captions to Hausa and manually post-edited, taking the associated images into account.
The training set contains 29K segments. Further 1K and 1.6K segments are provided in development and test sets, respectively, which follow the same (random) sampling from the original Hindi Visual Genome.
Additionally, a challenge test set of 1400 segments is available for the multi-modal task. This challenge test set was created in Hindi Visual Genome by searching for (particularly) ambiguous English words based on the embedding similarity and manually selecting those where the image helps to resolve the ambiguity.
