ESIC (Europarl Simultaneous Interpreting Corpus) is a corpus of 370 speeches (10 hours) in English, with manual transcripts, transcribed simultaneous interpreting into Czech and German, and parallel translations.
The corpus contains source English videos and audios. The interpreters' voices are not published within the corpus, but there is a tool that downloads them from the web of European Parliament, where they are publicly avaiable.
The transcripts are equipped with metadata (disfluencies, mixing voices and languages, read or spontaneous speech, etc.), punctuated, and with word-level timestamps.
The speeches in the corpus come from the European Parliament plenary sessions, from the period 2008-11. Most of the speakers are MEP, both native and non-native speakers of English. The corpus contains metadata about the speakers (name, surname, id, fraction) and about the speech (date, topic, read or spontaneous).
ESIC has validation and evaluation parts.
The current version is ESIC v1.1, it extends v1.0 with manual sentence alignment of the tri-parallel texts, and with bi-parallel sentence alignment of English original transcripts and German interpreting.
Etalon is a manually annotated corpus of contemporary Czech. The corpus contains 1,885,589 words (2,265,722 tokens) and is annotated in the same way as SYN2020 of the Czech National Corpus. The corpus includes fiction (ca 24%), professional and scientific literature (ca 40%) and newspapers (ca 36%).
The corpus is provided in a vertical format, where sentence boundaries are marked with a blank line. Every word form is written on a separate line, followed by five tab-separated attributes: syntactic word, lemma, sublemma, tag and verbtag. The texts are shuffled in random chunks of 100 words at maximum (respecting sentence boundaries).
