MEd is an annotation tool in which linearly-structured annotations of text or audio data can be created and edited. The tool supports multiple stacked layers of annotations that can be interconnected by links. MEd can also be used for other purposes, such as word-to-word alignment of parallel corpora.
This package provides an evaluation framework, training and test data for semi-automatic recognition of sections of historical diplomatic manuscripts. The data collection consists of 57 Latin charters issued by the Royal Chancellery of 7 different types. Documents were created in the era of John the Blind, King of Bohemia (1310–1346) and Count of Luxembourg. Manuscripts were digitized, transcribed, and typical sections of medieval charters ('corroboratio', 'datatio', 'dispositio', 'inscriptio', 'intitulatio', 'narratio', and 'publicatio') were manually tagged. Manuscripts also contain additional metadata, such as manually marked named entities and short Czech abstracts.
Recognition models are first trained using manually marked sections in training documents and the trained model can then be used for recognition of the sections in the test data. The parsing script supports methods based on Cosine Distance, TF-IDF weighting and adapted Viterbi algorithm.
Migrant Stories is a corpus of 1017 short biographic narratives of migrants supplemented with meta information about countries of origin/destination, the migrant gender, GDP per capita of the respective countries, etc. The corpus has been compiled as a teaching material for data analysis.
The MLASK corpus consists of 41,243 multi-modal documents – video-based news articles in the Czech language – collected from Novinky.cz (https://www.novinky.cz/) and Seznam Zprávy (https://www.seznamzpravy.cz/). It was introduced in "MLASK: Multimodal Summarization of Video-based News Articles" (Krubiński & Pecina, EACL 2023). The articles' publication dates range from September 2016 to February 2022.
The intended use case of the dataset is to model the task of multimodal summarization with multimodal output: based on a pair of a textual article and a short video, a textual summary is generated, and a single frame from the video is chosen as a pictorial summary.
Each document consists of the following:
- a .mp4 video
- a single image (cover picture)
- the article's text
- the article's summary
- the article's title
- the article's publication date
All of the videos are re-sampled to 25 fps and resized to the same resolution of 1280x720p. The maximum length of the video is 5 minutes, and the shortest one is 7 seconds. The average video duration is 86 seconds.
The quantitative statistics of the lengths of titles, abstracts, and full texts (measured in the number of tokens) are below. Q1 and Q3 denote the first and third quartiles, respectively.
/ - / mean / Q1 / Median / Q3 /
/ Title / 11.16 ± 2.78 / 9 / 11 / 13 /
/ Abstract / 33.40 ± 13.86 / 22 / 32 / 43 /
/ Article / 276.96 ± 191.74 / 154 / 231 / 343 /
The proposed training/dev/test split follows the chronological ordering based on publication data. We use the articles published in the first half (Jan-Jun) of 2021 for validation (2,482 instances) and the ones published in the second half (Jul-Dec) of 2021 and the beginning (Jan-Feb) of 2022 for testing (2,652 instances). The remaining data is used for training (36,109 instances).
The textual data is shared as a single .tsv file. The visual data (video+image) is shared as a single archive for validation and test splits, and the one from the training split is partitioned based on the publication date.
The MORČE tagger is a software for morphological disambiguation (part-of-speech tagging) of Czech text. The algorithm is statistical, based on an idea of so-called "Averaged Perceptron" published by Michael Collins in 2002.
Czech morphological dictionary developed originally by Jan Hajič as a spelling checker and lemmatization dictionary. Currently it contains full morphological information for each covered wordform, as well as some derivational, semantic and named entity information.

MorfFlex CZ 2.0 is the Czech morphological dictionary developed originally by Jan Hajič as a spelling checker and lemmatization dictionary. MorfFlex is a flat list of lemma-tag-wordform triples. For each wordform, full inflectional information is coded in a positional tag. Wordforms are organized into entries (paradigm instances or paradigms in short) according to their formal morphological behavior. The paradigm (set of wordforms) is identified by a unique lemma. Apart from traditional morphological categories, the description also contains some semantic, stylistic and derivational information.
