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].

Web corpus of Czech, created in 2011. Contains newspapers+magazines, discussions, blogs. See http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2012/summaries/120.html for details. and GA405/09/0278
The Czech Legal Text Treebank (CLTT) is a collection of 1133 manually annotated dependency trees. CLTT consists of two legal documents: The Accounting Act (563/1991 Coll., as amended) and Decree on Double-entry Accounting for undertakers (500/2002 Coll., as amended).
The package contains Czech recordings of the Visual History Archive which consists of the interviews with the Holocaust survivors. The archive consists of audio recordings, four types of automatic transcripts, manual annotations of selected topics and interviews' metadata. The archive totally contains 353 recordings and 592 hours of interviews.
Czech Named Entity Corpus 1.1 fixes some issues of the Czech Named Entity Corpus 1.0: misannotated entities are fixed, all formats contain the same data, tmt format is replaced with treex format, all formats contain splitting into training, development and testing portion of the data. and SVV 267 314 (Teoretické základy informatiky a výpočetní lingvistiky), LM2010013 (LINDAT-CLARIN: Institut pro analýzu, zpracování a distribuci lingvistických dat), GPP406/12/P175 (Vybrané derivační vztahy pro automatické zpracování češtiny), PRVOUK (PRVOUK)
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.
CzEng 1.0 is the fourth release of a sentence-parallel Czech-English corpus compiled at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (ÚFAL) freely available for non-commercial research purposes.
CzEng 1.0 contains 15 million parallel sentences (233 million English and 206 million Czech tokens) from seven different types of sources automatically annotated at surface and deep (a- and t-) layers of syntactic representation. and EuroMatrix Plus (FP7-ICT-2007-3-231720 of the EU and 7E09003+7E11051 of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic),

Diachronic corpus of Czech sized 3.45 million words (i.e. 4.1 million tokens). It contains 116 texts from the 14th-20th century period. The texts are transcribed, not transliterated. Diakorp v6 is provided in a CoNLL-U-like vertical format used as an input to the Manatee query engine. The data thus correspond to the corpus available via the KonText query interface to the registered users of CNC at http://www.korpus.cz
This package contains data sets for development and testing of machine translation of medical search short queries between Czech, English, French, and German. The queries come from general public and medical experts. and This work was supported by the EU FP7 project Khresmoi (European Comission contract No. 257528). The language resources are distributed by the LINDAT/Clarin project of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic (project no. LM2010013).
We thank Health on the Net Foundation for granting the license for the English general public queries, TRIP database for granting the license for the English medical expert queries, and three anonymous translators and three medical experts for translating amd revising the data.
