The database actually contains two sets of recordings, both recorded in the moving or stationary vehicles (passenger cars or trucks). All data were recorded within the project “Intelligent Electronic Record of the Operation and Vehicle Performance” whose aim is to develop a voice-operated software for registering the vehicle operation data.
The first part (full_noises.zip) consists of relatively long recordings from the vehicle cabin, containing spontaneous speech from the vehicle crew. The recordings are accompanied with detailed transcripts in the Transcriber XML-based format (.trs). Due to the recording settings, the audio contains many different noises, only sparsely interspersed with speech. As such, the set is suitable for robust estimation of the voice activity detector parameters.
The second set (prompts.zip) consists of short prompts that were recorded in the controlled setting – the speakers either answered simple questions or they repeated commands and short phrases. The prompts were recorded by 26 different speakers. Each speaker recorded at least two sessions (with identical set of prompts) – first in stationary vehicle, with low level of noise (those recordings are marked by –A_ in the file name) and second while actually driving the car (marked by –B_ or, since several speakers recorded 3 sessions, by –C_). The recordings from this set are suitable mostly for training of the robust domain-specific speech recognizer and also ASR test purposes.
The SynSemClass synonym verb lexicon is a result of a project investigating semantic ‘equivalence’ of verb senses and their valency behavior in parallel Czech-English language resources, i.e., relating verb meanings with respect to contextually-based verb synonymy. The lexicon entries are linked to PDT-Vallex (http://hdl.handle.net/11858/00-097C-0000-0023-4338-F), EngVallex (http://hdl.handle.net/11858/00-097C-0000-0023-4337-2), CzEngVallex (http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-1512), FrameNet (https://framenet.icsi.berkeley.edu/fndrupal/), VerbNet (http://verbs.colorado.edu/verbnet/index.html), PropBank (http://verbs.colorado.edu/%7Empalmer/projects/ace.html), Ontonotes (http://verbs.colorado.edu/html_groupings/), and English Wordnet (https://wordnet.princeton.edu/). Part of the dataset are files reflecting interannotator agreement.
A test set that contains manually annotated sentences with gapping.
The test set was compiled from SynTagRus (v. 2015) the dependency treebank for Russian that provides comprehensive manually-corrected morphological and syntactic annotation.
The presented data and metadata include answers to questions raised in the questionnaire focused on the experience of teaching practicums and their role in the practical preparation of English language teachers at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, as well as a basic quantitative analysis of the answers.
The analysis of the questionnaires shows that trainees are, in most cases, prepared for their teaching practicum both professionally and in terms of pedagogy and psychology, and the use of reflective teaching methods seems very useful. The benefits of the teaching practicum include, in particular, getting to know the real situation of teaching in secondary schools and working with a larger group of pupils, getting to know oneself as a teacher, gaining self-confidence, and becoming aware of one's own limits and areas for improvement. The downsides of the current system of teaching practice include mainly the low time allocation, the lack of integration of the practice in the curriculum, and the lack of involvement of the trainee in the daily running of the school (administrative work, supervision, meetings) and the lack of quality feedback from the faculty teacher.
The ACL RD-TEC 2.0 has been developed with the aim of providing a benchmark for the evaluation of methods for terminology extraction and classification as well as entity recognition tasks based on specialised text from the computational linguistics domain. This release of the corpus consists of 300 abstracts from articles in the ACL Anthology Reference Corpus, published between 1978--2006. In these abstracts, terms (i.e., single or multi-word lexical units with a specialised meaning) are manually annotated. In addition to their boundaries in running text, annotated terms are classified into one of the seven categories method, tool, language resource (LR), LR product, model, measures and measurements, and other. To assess the quality of the annotations and to determine the difficulty of this task, more than 171 of the abstracts are annotated twice, independently, by each of the two annotators. In total, 6,818 terms are identified and annotated, resulting in a specialised vocabulary made of 3,318 lexical forms, mapped to 3,471 concepts.

This is the first release of the UFAL Parallel Corpus of North Levantine, compiled by the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (ÚFAL) at Charles University within the Welcome project (https://welcome-h2020.eu/). The corpus consists of 120,600 multiparallel sentences in English, French, German, Greek, Spanish, and Standard Arabic selected from the OpenSubtitles2018 corpus [1] and manually translated into the North Levantine Arabic language. The corpus was created for the purpose of training machine translation for North Levantine and the other languages.
