The NomVallex I. lexicon describes valency of Czech deverbal nouns belonging to three semantic classes, i.e. Communication (dotaz 'question'), Mental Action (plán 'plan') and Psych State (nenávist 'hatred'). It covers both stem-nominals and root-nominals (dotazování se 'asking' and dotaz 'question'). In total, the lexicon includes 505 lexical units in 248 lexemes. Valency properties are captured in the form of valency frames, specifying valency slots and their morphemic forms, and are exemplified by corpus examples.
In order to facilitate comparison, this submission also contains abbreviated entries of the source verbs of these nouns from the Vallex lexicon and simplified entries of the covered nouns from the PDT-Vallex lexicon.
Segment from Český zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czech Aktualita Sound Newsreel) issue no. 16A from 1944 was shot at a big on-request concert held in the Great Hall of Lucerna Palace on 4 April as the 3000th performance of the Art for Youth initiative of the Board of Trustees for the Education of Youth. The event was attended by Minister of Education and People´s Enlightenment and Chairman of the Board Emanuel Moravec and General Secretary of the Board František Teuner. The diverse programme included the aria "While a Mother´s Love Means Blessing" from Bedřich Smetana´s The Bartered Bride performed by Marie Budíková and Oldřich Kovář as well as performances by young accordion players and a children´s choir.
The segment of Československý zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czechoslovak Aktualita Sound Newsreel), 1938, issue no. 10 consists of a montage of archive film material created to mark the 88th anniversary of the birth of the late President Tomáš Garrique Masaryk.
The original SDP 2014 and 2015 data collections were made available under task-specific ‘evaluation’ licenses to registered SemEval participants. In mid-2016, all original data has been bundled with system submissions, supporting software, an additional SDP-style collection of semantic dependency graphs, and additional background material (from which some of the SDP target representations were derived) for release through the Linguistic Data Consortium (with LDC catalogue number LDC2016 T10).
One of the four English target representations (viz. DM) and the entire Czech data (in the PSD target representation) are not derivative of LDC-licensed annotations and, thus, can be made available for direct download (Open SDP; version 1.1; April 2016) under a more permissive licensing scheme, viz. the Creative Common Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license. This package also includes some ‘richer’ meaning representations from which the English bi-lexical DM graphs derive, viz. scope-underspecified logical forms and more abstract, non-lexicalized ‘semantic networks’. The latter of these are formally (if not linguistically) similar to Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) and are available in a range of serializations, including in AMR-like syntax.

Segment from Český zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czech Aktualita Sound Newsreel) issue no. 28A, B from 1944 was shot during the official opening of the Week of Czech Youth organised by the Board of Trustees for the Education of Youth and held in the courtyard of Karlštejn Castle on 1 July. The ceremony was attended by Minister of Education and People´s Enlightenment and Chairman of the Board Emanuel Moravec and SS officer Ferdinand Fischer. General Secretary of the Board František Teuner spoke to the participants.
We define "optimal reference translation" as a translation thought to be the best possible that can be achieved by a team of human translators. Optimal reference translations can be used in assessments of excellent machine translations.
We selected 50 documents (online news articles, with 579 paragraphs in total) from the 130 English documents included in the WMT2020 news test (http://www.statmt.org/wmt20/) with the aim to preserve diversity (style, genre etc.) of the selection. In addition to the official Czech reference translation provided by the WMT organizers (P1), we hired two additional translators (P2 and P3, native Czech speakers) via a professional translation agency, resulting in three independent translations. The main contribution of this dataset are two additional translations (i.e. optimal reference translations N1 and N2), done jointly by two translators-cum-theoreticians with an extreme care for various aspects of translation quality, while taking into account the translations P1-P3. We publish also internal comments (in Czech) for some of the segments.
Translation N1 should be closer to the English original (with regards to the meaning and linguistic structure) and female surnames use the Czech feminine suffix (e.g. "Mai" is translated as "Maiová"). Translation N2 is more free, trying to be more creative, idiomatic and entertaining for the readers and following the typical style used in Czech media, while still preserving the rules of functional equivalence. Translation N2 is missing for the segments where it was not deemed necessary to provide two alternative translations. For applications/analyses needing translation of all segments, this should be interpreted as if N2 is the same as N1 for a given segment.
We provide the dataset in two formats: OpenDocument spreadsheet (odt) and plain text (one file for each translation and the English original). Some words were highlighted using different colors during the creation of optimal reference translations; this highlighting and comments are present only in the odt format (some comments refer to row numbers in the odt file). Documents are separated by empty lines and each document starts with a special line containing the document name (e.g. "# upi.205735"), which allows alignment with the original WMT2020 news test. For the segments where N2 translations are missing in the odt format, the respective N1 segments are used instead in the plain-text format.
This corpus contains annotations of translation quality from English to Czech in seven categories on both segment- and document-level. There are 20 documents in total, each with 4 translations (evaluated by each annotator in paralel) of 8 segments (can be longer than one sentence). Apart from the evaluation, the annotators also proposed their own, improved versions of the translations.
There were 11 annotators in total, on expertise levels ranging from non-experts to professional translators.
Corpus of informal spoken Czech sized 1 MW. It contains transcriptions of 221 recordings made in 2002–2006 in the whole of Bohemia. All the recordings were made in informal situations to ensure prototypically spontaneous spoken language. This means private environment, physical presence of speakers who know each other, unscripted speech and topic not given in advance. The total number of speakers is 754, the metadata include sociolinguistic information about them.
The corpus is provided in a (semi-XML) vertical format used as an input to the Manatee query engine. The data thus exactly correspond to the corpus available via query interface to registered users of the CNC. and Výzkumný záměr MSM0021620823 – Český národní korpus a korpusy dalších jazyků
Balanced corpus of informal spoken Czech sized 1 MW. It contains transcriptions of 297 recordings made in 2002–2007 in the whole of Bohemia. All the recordings were made in informal situations to ensure prototypically spontaneous spoken language. This means private environment, physical presence of speakers who know each other, unscripted speech and topic not given in advance. The total number of speakers is 995, the corpus is balanced in their main sociolinguistic categories (gender, age group, education, region of childhood residence).
