BASIC INFORMATION
--------------------
Czech Text Document Corpus v 2.0 is a collection of text documents for automatic document classification in Czech language. It is composed of the text documents provided by the Czech News Agency and is freely available for research purposes. This corpus was created in order to facilitate a straightforward comparison of the document classification approaches on Czech data. It is particularly dedicated to evaluation of multi-label document classification approaches, because one document is usually labelled with more than one label. Besides the information about the document classes, the corpus is also annotated at the morphological layer.
The main part (for training and testing) is composed of 11,955 real newspaper articles. We provide also a development set which is intended to be used for tuning of the hyper-parameters of the created models. This set contains 2735 additional articles.
The total category number is 60 out of which 37 most frequent ones are used for classification. The reason of this reduction is to keep only the classes with the sufficient number of occurrences to train the models.
Technical Details
------------------------
Text documents are stored in the individual text files using UTF-8 encoding. Each filename is composed of the serial number and the list of the categories abbreviations separated by the underscore symbol and the .txt suffix. Serial numbers are composed of five digits and the numerical series starts from the value one.
For instance the file 00046_kul_nab_mag.txt represents the document file number 46 annotated by the categories kul (culture), nab (religion) and mag (magazine selection). The content of the document, i.e. the word tokens, is stored in one line. The tokens are separated by the space symbols.
Every text document was further automatically mophologically analyzed. This analysis includes lemmatization, POS tagging and syntactic parsing. The fully annotated files are stored in .conll files. We also provide the lemmatized form, file with suffix .lemma, and appropriate POS-tags, see .pos files. The tokenized version of the documents is also available in .tok files.
This corpus is available only for research purposes for free. Commercial use in any form is strictly excluded.
The Czech translation of SQuAD 2.0 and SQuAD 1.1 datasets contains automatically translated texts, questions and answers from the training set and the development set of the respective datasets.
The test set is missing, because it is not publicly available.
The data is released under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.

CzeDLex 0.5 is a pilot version of a lexicon of Czech discourse connectives. The lexicon contains connectives partially automatically extracted from the Prague Discourse Treebank 2.0 (PDiT 2.0), a large corpus annotated manually with discourse relations. The most frequent entries in the lexicon (covering more than 2/3 of the discourse relations annotated in the PDiT 2.0) have been manually checked, translated to English and supplemented with additional linguistic information.
CzeDLex 0.6 is the second development version of the lexicon of Czech discourse connectives. The lexicon contains connectives partially automatically extracted from the Prague Discourse Treebank 2.0 (PDiT 2.0), a large corpus annotated manually with discourse relations. The most frequent entries in the lexicon (76 out of total 204 entries, covering more than 90% of the discourse relations annotated in PDiT 2.0), have been manually checked, translated to English and supplemented with additional linguistic information.
CzeDLex 0.7 is the third development version of the Lexicon of Czech discourse connectives. The lexicon contains connectives partially automatically extracted from the Prague Discourse Treebank 2.0 (PDiT 2.0) and, as a supplementary resource, the Czech part of the Prague Czech–English Dependency Treebank with discourse annotation projected from the Penn Discourse Treebank 3.0. The most frequent entries in the lexicon (131 out of total 218 entries, covering more than 95% of discourse relations annotated in PDiT 2.0), have been manually checked, translated to English and supplemented with additional linguistic information.
CzeDLex 1.0 is the first production version (the fourth development version) of the Lexicon of Czech discourse connectives. The lexicon contains connectives partially automatically extracted from resources annotated manually with discourse relations: the Prague Discourse Treebank 2.0 (PDiT 2.0) as the primary resource, and two supplementary resources: (i) the Czech part of the Prague Czech–English Dependency Treebank with discourse annotation projected from the Penn Discourse Treebank 3.0, and (ii) a thousand sentences selected from various fiction novels and transcriptions of public speeches. All 200 entries in the lexicon have been manually checked, translated to English and supplemented with additional linguistic information.
The CzEngClass 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.

Part of the dataset is a file reflecting annotators choices for assignment of verbs to classes.

CzEngVallex is a bilingual valency lexicon of corresponding Czech and English verbs. It connects 20835 aligned valency frame pairs (verb senses) which are translations of each other, aligning their arguments as well. The CzEngVallex serves as a powerful, real-text-based database of frame-to-frame and subsequently argument-to-argument pairs and can be used for example for machine translation applications. It uses the data from the Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank project (PCEDT 2.0, http://hdl.handle.net/11858/00-097C-0000-0015-8DAF-4) and it also takes advantage of two existing valency lexicons: PDT-Vallex for Czech and EngVallex for English, using the same view of valency (based on the Functional Generative Description theory). The CzEngVallex is available in an XML format in the LINDAT/CLARIN repository, and also in a searchable form (see the “More Apps” tab) interlinked with 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) and with examples from the PCEDT.
