This is a document-aligned parallel corpus of English and Czech abstracts of scientific papers published by authors from the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics, Charles University in Prague, as reported in the institute's system Biblio. For each publication, the authors are obliged to provide both the original abstract in Czech or English, and its translation into English or Czech, respectively. No filtering was performed, except for removing entries missing the Czech or English abstract, and replacing newline and tabulator characters by spaces.
This is a parallel corpus of Czech and mostly English abstracts of scientific papers and presentations published by authors from the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics, Charles University in Prague. For each publication record, the authors are obliged to provide both the original abstract (in Czech or English), and its translation (English or Czech) in the internal Biblio system. The data was filtered for duplicates and missing entries, ensuring that every record is bilingual. Additionally, records of published papers which are indexed by SemanticScholar contain the respective link. The dataset was created from September 2022 image of the Biblio database and is stored in JSONL format, with each line corresponding to one record.
The database contains annotated reflective sentences, which fall into the categories of reflective writing according to Ullmann's (2019) model. The dataset is ready to replicate these categories' prediction using machine learning. Available from: https://anonymous.4open.science/repository/c856595c-dfc2-48d7-aa3d-0ccc2648c4dc/data
FASpell dataset was developed for the evaluation of spell checking algorithms. It contains a set of pairs of misspelled Persian words and their corresponding corrected forms similar to the ASpell dataset used for English.
The dataset consists of two parts:
a) faspell_main: list of 5050 pairs collected from errors made by elementary school pupils and professional typists.
b) faspell_ocr: list of 800 pairs collected from the output of a Farsi OCR system.
LiFR-Law is a corpus of Czech legal and administrative texts with measured reading comprehension and a subjective expert annotation of diverse textual properties based on the Hamburg Comprehensibility Concept (Langer, Schulz von Thun, Tausch, 1974). It has been built as a pilot data set to explore the Linguistic Factors of Readability (hence the LiFR acronym) in Czech administrative and legal texts, modeling their correlation with actually observed reading comprehension. The corpus is comprised of 18 documents in total; that is, six different texts from the legal/administration domain, each in three versions: the original and two paraphrases. Each such document triple shares one reading-comprehension test administered to at least thirty readers of random gender, educational background, and age. The data set also captures basic demographic information about each reader, their familiarity with the topic, and their subjective assessment of the stylistic properties of the given document, roughly corresponding to the key text properties identified by the Hamburg Comprehensibility Concept.

Changes to the previous version and helpful comments
• File names of the comprehension test results (self-explanatory)
• Corrected one erroneous automatic evaluation rule in the multiple-choice evaluation (zahradnici_3,
TRUE and FALSE had been swapped)
• Evaluation protocols for both question types added into Folder lifr_formr_study_design
• Data has been cleaned: empty responses to multiple-choice questions were re-inserted. Now, all surveys
are considered complete that have reader’s subjective text evaluation complete (these were placed at
the very end of each survey).
• Only complete surveys (all 7 content questions answered) are represented. We dropped the replies of
six users who did not complete their surveys.
• A few missing responses to open questions have been detected and re-inserted.
• The demographic data contain all respondents who filled in the informed consent and the demographic
details, with respondents who did not complete any test survey (but provided their demographic
details) in a separate file. All other data have been cleaned to contain only responses by the regular
respondents (at least one completed survey).

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.
A dictionary of morphologically segmented word forms in Czech. Rules of manual segmentation are described in Pelegrinová, K., Mačutek, J., Čech, R. (2021). The Menzerath-Altmann law as the relation between lengths of words and morphemes in Czech. Jazykovedný časopis, 72, 405-414. The dictionary is based on short stories, fairy tales, letters and studies written by Karel Čapek.
