UMC 0.1 Czech-English-Russian is a multilingual parallel corpus of texts in Czech, Russian and English languages with automatic pairwise sentence alignments. The primary aim of UMC is to extend the set of languages covered by the corpus CzEng mainly for the purposes of machine translation.
All the texts were downloaded from a single source — The Project Syndicate (Copyright: Project Syndicate 1995-2008), which contains a huge collection of high-quality news articles and commentaries. We were given the permission to use the texts for research and non-commercial purposes. and FP6-IST-5-034291-STP (EuroMatrix)
We provide the Vietnamese version of the multi-lingual test set from WMT 2013 [1] competition. The Vietnamese version was manually translated from English. For completeness, this record contains the 3000 sentences in all the WMT 2013 original languages (Czech, English, French, German, Russian and Spanish), extended with our Vietnamese version. Test set is used in [2] to evaluate translation between Czech, English and Vietnamese.

The item contains models to tune for the WMT16 Tuning shared task for Czech-to-English.
CzEng 1.6pre (http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/czeng/czeng16pre) corpus is used for the training of the translation models. The data is tokenized (using Moses tokenizer), lowercased and sentences longer than 60 words and shorter than 4 words are removed before training. Alignment is done using fast_align (https://github.com/clab/fast_align) and the standard Moses pipeline is used for training.
Two 5-gram language models are trained using KenLM: one only using the CzEng English data and the other is trained using all available English mono data for WMT except Common Crawl.
Also included are two lexicalized bidirectional reordering models, word based and hierarchical, with msd conditioned on both source and target of processed CzEng.
