Balaxan is the first speech corpus of Kurmanji Kurdish with 58 utterances by speakers of Kurmanji. utterances are divided into 4 categories based on their sentence structures: Declarative, Imperative, Interrogative, and Exclamatory. The corpus has subtitles both in Kurmanji (Latin alphabet) and English.
This corpus was originally created for performance testing (server infrastructure CorpusExplorer - see: diskurslinguistik.net / diskursmonitor.de). It includes the filtered database (German texts only) of CommonCrawl (as of March 2018). First, the URLs were filtered according to their top-level domain (de, at, ch). Then the texts were classified using NTextCat and only uniquely German texts were included in the corpus. The texts were then annotated using TreeTagger (token, lemma, part-of-speech). 2.58 million documents - 232.87 million sentences - 3.021 billion tokens. You can use CorpusExplorer (http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-2634) to convert this data into various other corpus formats (XML, JSON, Weblicht, TXM and many more).
This resource is a corpus containing 34k Moroccan Colloquial Arabic sentences collected from different sources. The sentences are written in Arabic letters. This resource can be useful in some NLP applications such as Language Identification.
In NLP Centre, dividing text into sentences is currently done with
a tool which uses rule-based system. In order to make enough training
data for machine learning, annotators manually split the corpus of contemporary text
CBB.blog (1 million tokens) into sentences.
Each file contains one hundredth of the whole corpus and all data were
processed in parallel by two annotators.
The corpus was created from ten contemporary blogs:
hintzu.otaku.cz
modnipeklo.cz
bloc.cz
aleneprokopova.blogspot.com
blog.aktualne.cz
fuchsova.blog.onaidnes.cz
havlik.blog.idnes.cz

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].
