The CzEngClass synonym verb lexicon is a result of a project investigating semantic ‘equivalence’ of verb senses and their valency behavior in parallel Czech-English language resources, i.e., relating verb meanings with respect to contextually-based verb synonymy.

CzeSL-GEC is a corpus containing sentence pairs of original and corrected versions of Czech sentences collected from essays written by both non-native learners of Czech and Czech pupils with Romani background. To create this corpus, unreleased CzeSL-man corpus (http://utkl.ff.cuni.cz/learncorp/) was utilized. All sentences in the corpus are word tokenized.
We present DaMuEL, a large Multilingual Dataset for Entity Linking containing data in 53 languages. DaMuEL consists of two components: a knowledge base that contains language-agnostic information about entities, including their claims from Wikidata and named entity types (PER, ORG, LOC, EVENT, BRAND, WORK_OF_ART, MANUFACTURED); and Wikipedia texts with entity mentions linked to the knowledge base, along with language-specific text from Wikidata such as labels, aliases, and descriptions, stored separately for each language. The Wikidata QID is used as a persistent, language-agnostic identifier, enabling the combination of the knowledge base with language-specific texts and information for each entity. Wikipedia documents deliberately annotate only a single mention for every entity present; we further automatically detect all mentions of named entities linked from each document. The dataset contains 27.9M named entities in the knowledge base and 12.3G tokens from Wikipedia texts. The dataset is published under the CC BY-SA licence.
