Malayalam Visual Genome (MVG for short) 1.0 has similar goals as Hindi Visual Genome (HVG) 1.1: to support the Malayalam language. Malayalam Visual Genome 1.0 is the first multi-modal dataset in Malayalam for machine translation and image captioning.
Malayalam Visual Genome 1.0 serves in "WAT 2021 Multi-Modal Machine Translation Task".
Malayalam Visual Genome is a multimodal dataset consisting of text and images suitable for English-to-Malayalam multimodal machine translation task and multimodal research. We follow the same selection of short English segments (captions) and the associated images from Visual Genome as HGV 1.1 has. For MVG, we automatically translated these captions from English to Malayalam and manually corrected them, taking the associated images into account.
The training set contains 29K segments. Further 1K and 1.6K segments are provided in development and test sets, respectively, which follow the same (random) sampling from the original Hindi Visual Genome.
A third test set is called ``challenge test set'' and consists of 1.4K segments. The challenge test set was created for the WAT2019 multi-modal task by searching for (particularly) ambiguous English words based on the embedding similarity and manually selecting those where the image helps to resolve the ambiguity. The surrounding words in the sentence however also often include sufficient cues to identify the correct meaning of the ambiguous word. For MVG, we simply translated the English side of the test sets to Malayalam, again utilizing machine translation to speed up the process.
Dataset Formats
----------------------
The multimodal dataset contains both text and images.
The text parts of the dataset (train and test sets) are in simple tab-delimited plain text files.
All the text files have seven columns as follows:
Column1 - image_id
Column2 - X
Column3 - Y
Column4 - Width
Column5 - Height
Column6 - English Text
Column7 - Malayalam Text
The image part contains the full images with the corresponding image_id as the file name. The X, Y, Width and Height columns indicate the rectangular region in the image described by the caption.

This data set contains four types of manual annotation of translation quality, focusing on the comparison of human and machine translation quality (aka human-parity). The machine translation system used is English-Czech CUNI Transformer (CUBBITT). The annotations distinguish adequacy, fluency and overall quality. One of the types is Translation Turing test - detecting whether the annotators can distinguish human from machine translation.
All the sentences are taken from the English-Czech test set newstest2018 (WMT2018 News translation shared task www.statmt.org/wmt18/translation-task.html), but only from the half with originally English sentences translated to Czech by a professional agency.
Manual classification of errors of English-Slovak translation according to the classification introduced by Vilar et al. [1]. 50 sentences randomly selected from WMT 2011 test set [2] were translated by 3 MT systems described in [3] and MT errors were manually marked and classified. Reference translation is included.

Mapping table for the article Hajič et al., 2024: Mapping Czech Verbal Valency to PropBank Argument Labels, in LREC-COLING 2024, as preprocess by the algorithm described in the paper. This dataset i smeant for verification (replicatoin) purposes only. It will b manually processed further to arrive at a workable CzezchpropBank, to be used in Czech UMR annotation, to be further updated during the annotation. The resulting PropBank frame files fir Czech are expected to be available with some future releases of UMR, containing Czech UMR annotation, or separately.
En-De translation models, exported via TensorFlow Serving, available in the Lindat translation service (https://lindat.mff.cuni.cz/services/translation/).
The models were trained using the MCSQ social surveys dataset (available at https://repo.clarino.uib.no/xmlui/bitstream/handle/11509/142/mcsq_v3.zip).
Their main use should be in-domain translation of social surveys.
Models are compatible with Tensor2tensor version 1.6.6.
For details about the model training (data, model hyper-parameters), please contact the archive maintainer.

Migrant Stories is a corpus of 1017 short biographic narratives of migrants supplemented with meta information about countries of origin/destination, the migrant gender, GDP per capita of the respective countries, etc. The corpus has been compiled as a teaching material for data analysis.
MorphoDiTa: Morphological Dictionary and Tagger is an open-source tool for morphological analysis of natural language texts. It performs morphological analysis, morphological generation, tagging and tokenization and is distributed as a standalone tool or a library, along with trained linguistic models. In the Czech language, MorphoDiTa achieves state-of-the-art results with a throughput around 10-200K words per second. MorphoDiTa is a free software under LGPL license and the linguistic models are free for non-commercial use and distributed under CC BY-NC-SA license, although for some models the original data used to create the model may impose additional licensing conditions.
MSTperl is a Perl reimplementation of the MST parser of Ryan McDonald (http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~strctlrn/MSTParser/MSTParser.html).
MST parser (Maximum Spanning Tree parser) is a state-of-the-art natural language dependency parser -- a tool that takes a sentence and returns its dependency tree.
In MSTperl, only some functionality was implemented; the limitations include the following:
the parser is a non-projective one, curently with no possibility of enforcing the requirement of projectivity of the parse trees;
only first-order features are supported, i.e. no second-order or third-order features are possible;
the implementation of MIRA is that of a single-best MIRA, with a closed-form update instead of using quadratic programming.
On the other hand, the parser supports several advanced features:
parallel features, i.e. enriching the parser input with word-aligned sentence in other language;
adding large-scale information, i.e. the feature set enriched with features corresponding to pointwise mutual information of word pairs in a large corpus (CzEng).
The MSTperl parser is tuned for parsing Czech. Trained models are available for Czech, English and German. We can train the parser for other languages on demand, or you can train it yourself -- the guidelines are part of the documentation.
The parser, together with detailed documentation, is avalable on CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/~rur/Treex-Parser-MSTperl/). and The research has been supported by the EU Seventh Framework Programme under grant agreement 247762 (Faust), and by the grants GAUK116310 and GA201/09/H057.
