ESIC (Europarl Simultaneous Interpreting Corpus) is a corpus of 370 speeches (10 hours) in English, with manual transcripts, transcribed simultaneous interpreting into Czech and German, and parallel translations.
The corpus contains source English videos and audios. The interpreters' voices are not published within the corpus, but there is a tool that downloads them from the web of European Parliament, where they are publicly avaiable.
The transcripts are equipped with metadata (disfluencies, mixing voices and languages, read or spontaneous speech, etc.), punctuated, and with word-level timestamps.
The speeches in the corpus come from the European Parliament plenary sessions, from the period 2008-11. Most of the speakers are MEP, both native and non-native speakers of English. The corpus contains metadata about the speakers (name, surname, id, fraction) and about the speech (date, topic, read or spontaneous).
ESIC has validation and evaluation parts.
The current version is ESIC v1.1, it extends v1.0 with manual sentence alignment of the tri-parallel texts, and with bi-parallel sentence alignment of English original transcripts and German interpreting.
This corpora is part of Deliverable 5.5 of the European Commission project QTLeap FP7-ICT-2013.4.1-610516 (http://qtleap.eu).
The texts are sentences from the Europarl parallel corpus (Koehn, 2005). We selected the monolingual sentences from parallel corpora for the following pairs: Bulgarian-English, Czech-English, Portuguese-English and Spanish-English. The English corpus is comprised by the English side of the Spanish-English corpus.
Basque is not in Europarl. In addition, it contains the Basque and English sides of the GNOME corpus.
The texts have been automatically annotated with NLP tools, including Word Sense Disambiguation, Named Entity Disambiguation and Coreference resolution. Please check deliverable D5.6 in http://qtleap.eu/deliverables for more information.

This package contains an extended version of the test collection used in the CLEF eHealth Information Retrieval tasks in 2013--2015. Compared to the original version, it provides complete query translations into Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Spanish and Swedish and additional relevance assessment.
We have created test set for syntactic questions presented in the paper [1] which is more general than Mikolov's [2]. Since we were interested in morphosyntactic relations, we extended only the questions of the syntactic type with exception of nationality adjectives which is already covered completely in Mikolov's test set.
We constructed the pairs more or less manually, taking inspiration in the Czech side of the CzEng corpus [3], where explicit morphological annotation allows to identify various pairs of Czech words (different grades of adjectives, words and their negations, etc.). The word-aligned English words often shared the same properties. Another sources of pairs were acquired from various webpages usually written for learners of English. For example for verb tense, we relied on a freely available list of English verbs and their morphological variations.
We have included 100-1000 different pairs for each question set. The questions were constructed from the pairs similarly as by Mikolov: generating all possible pairs of pairs. This leads to millions of questions, so we randomly selected 1000 instances per question set, to keep the test set in the same order of magnitude. Additionally, we decided to extend set of questions on opposites to cover not only opposites of adjectives but also of nouns and verbs.
