A richly annotated and genre-diversified language resource, The Prague Dependency Treebank – Consolidated 1.0 (PDT-C 1.0, or PDT-C in short in the sequel) is a consolidated release of the existing PDT-corpora of Czech data, uniformly annotated using the standard PDT scheme. PDT-corpora included in PDT-C: Prague Dependency Treebank (the original PDT contents, written newspaper and journal texts from three genres); Czech part of Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank (translated financial texts, from English), Prague Dependency Treebank of Spoken Czech (spoken data, including audio and transcripts and multiple speech reconstruction annotation); PDT-Faust (user-generated texts). The difference from the separately published original treebanks can be briefly described as follows: it is published in one package, to allow easier data handling for all the datasets; the data is enhanced with a manual linguistic annotation at the morphological layer and new version of morphological dictionary is enclosed; a common valency lexicon for all four original parts is enclosed. Documentation provides two browsing and editing desktop tools (TrEd and MEd) and the corpus is also available online for searching using PML-TQ.
A small subset of PDT 2.0 made available under a permissive license.
Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0 (PDT 2.0) contains a large amount of Czech texts with complex and interlinked morphological (2 million words), syntactic (1.5 MW) and complex semantic annotation (0.8 MW); in addition, certain properties of sentence information structure and coreference relations are annotated at the semantic level.
PDT 2.0 is based on the long-standing Praguian linguistic tradition, adapted for the current Computational Linguistics research needs. The corpus itself uses the latest annotation technology. Software tools for corpus search, annotation and language analysis are included. Extensive documentation (in English) is provided as well. and * Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic projects No. VS96151, LN00A063, 1P05ME752, MSM0021620838 and LC536,

The Prague Dependency Treebank 3.5 is the 2018 edition of the core Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT). It contains all PDT annotation made at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics under various projects between 1996 and 2018 on the original texts, i.e., all annotation from PDT 1.0, PDT 2.0, PDT 2.5, PDT 3.0, PDiT 1.0 and PDiT 2.0, plus corrections, new structure of basic documentation and new list of authors covering all previous editions. The Prague Dependency Treebank 3.5 (PDT 3.5) contains the same texts as the previous versions since 2.0; there are 49,431 annotated sentences (832,823 words) on all layers, from tectogrammatical annotation to syntax to morphology. There are additional annotated sentences for syntax and morphology; the totals for the lower layers of annotation are: 87,913 sentences with 1,502,976 words at the analytical layer (surface dependency syntax) and 115,844 sentences with 1,956,693 words at the morphological layer of annotation (these totals include the annotation with the higher layers annotated as well). Closely linked to the tectogrammatical layer is the annotation of sentence information structure, multiword expressions, coreference, bridging relations and discourse relations.
The Prague Dependency Treebank of Spoken Czech 2.0 (PDTSC 2.0) is a corpus of spoken language, consisting of 742,316 tokens and 73,835 sentences, representing 7,324 minutes (over 120 hours) of spontaneous dialogs. The dialogs have been recorded, transcribed and edited in several interlinked layers: audio recordings, automatic and manual transcripts and manually reconstructed text. These layers were part of the first version of the corpus (PDTSC 1.0). Version 2.0 is extended by an automatic dependency parser at the analytical and by the manual annotation of “deep” syntax at the tectogrammatical layer, which contains semantic roles and relations as well as annotation of coreference.
Trained models for UDPipe used to produce our final submission to the Vardial 2017 CLP shared task (https://bitbucket.org/hy-crossNLP/vardial2017). The SK model was trained on CS data, the HR model on SL data, and the SV model on a concatenation of DA and NO data. The scripts and commands used to create the models are part of separate submission (http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-1970).
The models were trained with UDPipe version 3e65d69 from 3rd Jan 2017, obtained from
https://github.com/ufal/udpipe -- their functionality with newer or older versions of UDPipe is not guaranteed.
We list here the Bash command sequences that can be used to reproduce our results submitted to VarDial 2017. The input files must be in CoNLLU format. The models only use the form, UPOS, and Universal Features fields (SK only uses the form). You must have UDPipe installed. The feats2FEAT.py script, which prunes the universal features, is bundled with this submission.
SK -- tag and parse with the model:
udpipe --tag --parse sk-translex.v2.norm.feats07.w2v.trainonpred.udpipe sk-ud-predPoS-test.conllu
A slightly better after-deadline model (sk-translex.v2.norm.Case-feats07.w2v.trainonpred.udpipe), which we mention in the accompanying paper, is also included. It is applied in the same way (udpipe --tag --parse sk-translex.v2.norm.Case-feats07.w2v.trainonpred.udpipe sk-ud-predPoS-test.conllu).
HR -- prune the Features to keep only Case and parse with the model:
python3 feats2FEAT.py Case < hr-ud-predPoS-test.conllu | udpipe --parse hr-translex.v2.norm.Case.w2v.trainonpred.udpipe
NO -- put the UPOS annotation aside, tag Features with the model, merge with the left-aside UPOS annotation, and parse with the model (this hassle is because UDPipe cannot be told to keep UPOS and only change Features):
cut -f1-4 no-ud-predPoS-test.conllu > tmp
udpipe --tag no-translex.v2.norm.tgttagupos.srctagfeats.Case.w2v.udpipe no-ud-predPoS-test.conllu | cut -f5- | paste tmp - | sed 's/^\t$//' | udpipe --parse no-translex.v2.norm.tgttagupos.srctagfeats.Case.w2v.udpipe
Tools and scripts used to create the cross-lingual parsing models submitted to VarDial 2017 shared task (https://bitbucket.org/hy-crossNLP/vardial2017), as described in the linked paper. The trained UDPipe models themselves are published in a separate submission (https://lindat.mff.cuni.cz/repository/xmlui/handle/11234/1-1971).
For each source (SS, e.g. sl) and target (TT, e.g. hr) language,
you need to add the following into this directory:
- treebanks (Universal Dependencies v1.4):
SS-ud-train.conllu
TT-ud-predPoS-dev.conllu
- parallel data (OpenSubtitles from Opus):
OpenSubtitles2016.SS-TT.SS
OpenSubtitles2016.SS-TT.TT
!!! If they are originally called ...TT-SS... instead of ...SS-TT...,
you need to symlink them (or move, or copy) !!!
- target tagging model
TT.tagger.udpipe
All of these can be obtained from https://bitbucket.org/hy-crossNLP/vardial2017
You also need to have:
- Bash
- Perl 5
- Python 3
- word2vec (https://code.google.com/archive/p/word2vec/); we used rev 41 from 15th Sep 2014
- udpipe (https://github.com/ufal/udpipe); we used commit 3e65d69 from 3rd Jan 2017
- Treex (https://github.com/ufal/treex); we used commit d27ee8a from 21st Dec 2016
The most basic setup is the sl-hr one (train_sl-hr.sh):
- normalization of deprels
- 1:1 word-alignment of parallel data with Monolingual Greedy Aligner
- simple word-by-word translation of source treebank
- pre-training of target word embeddings
- simplification of morpho feats (use only Case)
- and finally, training and evaluating the parser
Both da+sv-no (train_ds-no.sh) and cs-sk (train_cs-sk.sh) add some cross-tagging, which seems to be useful only in
specific cases (see paper for details).
Moreover, cs-sk also adds more morpho features, selecting those that
seem to be very often shared in parallel data.
The whole pipeline takes tens of hours to run, and uses several GB of RAM, so make sure to use a powerful computer.
This entry contains the SumeCzech dataset and the metric RougeRAW used for evaluation. Both the dataset and the metric are described in the paper "SumeCzech: Large Czech News-Based Summarization Dataset" by Milan Straka et al.
The dataset is distributed as a set of Python scripts which download the raw HTML pages from CommonCrawl and then process them into the required format.
The MPL 2.0 license applies to the scripts downloading the dataset and to the RougeRAW implementation.
Note: sumeczech-1.0-update-230225.zip is the updated release of the SumeCzech download script, including the original RougeRAW evaluation metric. The download script was modified to use the updated CommonCraw download URL and to support Python 3.10 and Python 3.11. However, the downloaded dataset is still exactly the same. The original archive sumeczech-1.0.zip was renamed to sumeczech-1.0-obsolete-180213.zip and is kept for reference.
Tamil Dependency Treebank version 0.1 (TamilTB.v0.1) is an attempt to develop a syntactically annotated corpora for Tamil. TamilTB.v0.1 contains 600 sentences enriched with manual annotation of morphology and dependency syntax in the style of Prague Dependency Treebank. TamilTB.v0.1 has been created at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics, Charles University in Prague.
Universal Dependencies is a project that seeks to develop cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages, with the goal of facilitating multilingual parser development, cross-lingual learning, and parsing research from a language typology perspective. The annotation scheme is based on (universal) Stanford dependencies (de Marneffe et al., 2006, 2008, 2014), Google universal part-of-speech tags (Petrov et al., 2012), and the Interset interlingua for morphosyntactic tagsets (Zeman, 2008).
