Additional three Czech reference translations of the whole WMT 2011 data set (http://www.statmt.org/wmt11/test.tgz), translated from the German originals. Original segmentation of the WMT 2011 data is preserved. and This project has been sponsored by the grants GAČR P406/11/1499 and EuroMatrixPlus (FP7-ICT-2007-3-231720 of the EU and 7E09003+7E11051 of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic)
COSTRA 1.0 is a dataset of Czech complex sentence transformations. The dataset is intended for the study of sentence-level embeddings beyond simple word alternations or standard paraphrasing.
The dataset consist of 4,262 unique sentences with average length of 10 words, illustrating 15 types of modifications such as simplification, generalization, or formal and informal language variation.
The hope is that with this dataset, we should be able to test semantic properties of sentence embeddings and perhaps even to find some topologically interesting “skeleton” in the sentence embedding space.
Costra 1.1 is a new dataset for testing geometric properties of sentence embeddings spaces. In particular, it concentrates on examining how well sentence embeddings capture complex phenomena such paraphrases, tense or generalization. The dataset is a direct expansion of Costra 1.0, which was extended with more sentences and sentence comparisons.
CsEnVi Pairwise Parallel Corpora consist of Vietnamese-Czech parallel corpus and Vietnamese-English parallel corpus. The corpora were assembled from the following sources:
- OPUS, the open parallel corpus is a growing multilingual corpus of translated open source documents.
The majority of Vi-En and Vi-Cs bitexts are subtitles from movies and television series.
The nature of the bitexts are paraphrasing of each other's meaning, rather than translations.
- TED talks, a collection of short talks on various topics, given primarily in English, transcribed and with transcripts translated to other languages. In our corpus, we use 1198 talks which had English and Vietnamese transcripts available and 784 talks which had Czech and Vietnamese transcripts available in January 2015.
The size of the original corpora collected from OPUS and TED talks is as follows:
CS/VI EN/VI
Sentence 1337199/1337199 2035624/2035624
Word 9128897/12073975 16638364/17565580
Unique word 224416/68237 91905/78333
We improve the quality of the corpora in two steps: normalizing and filtering.
In the normalizing step, the corpora are cleaned based on the general format of subtitles and transcripts. For instance, sequences of dots indicate explicit continuation of subtitles across multiple time frames. The sequences of dots are distributed differently in the source and the target side. Removing the sequence of dots, along with a number of other normalization rules, improves the quality of the alignment significantly.
In the filtering step, we adapt the CzEng filtering tool [1] to filter out bad sentence pairs.
The size of cleaned corpora as published is as follows:
CS/VI EN/VI
Sentence 1091058/1091058 1113177/1091058
Word 6718184/7646701 8518711/8140876
Unique word 195446/59737 69513/58286
The corpora are used as training data in [2].

Czech subjectivity lexicon, i.e. a list of subjectivity clues for sentiment analysis in Czech. The list contains 4626 evaluative items (1672 positive and 2954 negative) together with their part of speech tags, polarity orientation and source information.
The core of the Czech subjectivity lexicon has been gained by automatic translation of a freely available English subjectivity lexicon downloaded from http://www.cs.pitt.edu/mpqa/subj_lexicon.html. For translating the data into Czech, we used parallel corpus CzEng 1.0 containing 15 million parallel sentences (233 million English and 206 million Czech tokens) from seven different types of sources automatically annotated at surface and deep layers of syntactic representation. Afterwards, the lexicon has been manually refined by an experienced annotator. and The work on this project has been supported by the GAUK 3537/2011 grant and by SVV project number 267 314.
CzEng 1.0 is the fourth release of a sentence-parallel Czech-English corpus compiled at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (ÚFAL) freely available for non-commercial research purposes.

CzEng 0.7 is a Czech-English parallel corpus compiled at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (ÚFAL), Charles University, Prague. The corpus contains no manual annotation. It is limited only to texts which have been already available in an electronic form and which are not protected by authors' rights in the Czech Republic. The main purpose of the corpus is to support Czech-English and English-Czech machine translation research with the necessary data. CzEng 0.7 consists of a large set of parallel textual documents mainly from the fields of European law, information technology, and fiction, all of them converted into a uniform XML-based file format and provided with automatic sentence alignment.
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.
