CorefUD is a collection of previously existing datasets annotated with coreference, which we converted into a common annotation scheme. In total, CorefUD in its current version 1.0 consists of 17 datasets for 11 languages. The datasets are enriched with automatic morphological and syntactic annotations that are fully compliant with the standards of the Universal Dependencies project. All the datasets are stored in the CoNLL-U format, with coreference- and bridging-specific information captured by attribute-value pairs located in the MISC column. The collection is divided into a public edition and a non-public (ÚFAL-internal) edition. The publicly available edition is distributed via LINDAT-CLARIAH-CZ and contains 13 datasets for 10 languages (1 dataset for Catalan, 2 for Czech, 2 for English, 1 for French, 2 for German, 1 for Hungarian, 1 for Lithuanian, 1 for Polish, 1 for Russian, and 1 for Spanish), excluding the test data. The non-public edition is available internally to ÚFAL members and contains additional 4 datasets for 2 languages (1 dataset for Dutch, and 3 for English), which we are not allowed to distribute due to their original license limitations. It also contains the test data portions for all datasets. When using any of the harmonized datasets, please get acquainted with its license (placed in the same directory as the data) and cite the original data resource too. Version 1.0 consists of the same corpora and languages as the previous version 0.2; however, the English GUM dataset has been updated to a newer and larger version, and in the Czech/English PCEDT dataset, the train-dev-test split has been changed to be compatible with OntoNotes. Nevertheless, the main change is in the file format (the MISC attributes have new form and interpretation).

The `corpipe23-corefud1.1-231206` is a `mT5-large`-based multilingual model for coreference resolution usable in CorPipe 23 (https://github.com/ufal/crac2023-corpipe). It is released under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
The model is language agnostic (no _corpus id_ on input), so it can be used to predict coreference in any `mT5` language (for zero-shot evaluation, see the paper). However, note that the empty nodes must be present already on input, they are not predicted (the same settings as in the CRAC23 shared task).
The `corpipe23-corefud1.2-240906` is a `mT5-large`-based multilingual model for coreference resolution usable in CorPipe 23 <https://github.com/ufal/crac2023-corpipe>. It is released under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
The model is language agnostic (no corpus id on input), so it can be in theory used to predict coreference in any `mT5` language. However, the model expects empty nodes to be already present on input, predicted by the https://www.kaggle.com/models/ufal-mff/crac2024_zero_nodes_baseline/.
This model was present in the CorPipe 24 paper as an alternative to a single-stage approach, where the empty nodes are predicted joinly with coreference resolution (via http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-5672), an approach circa twice as fast but of slightly worse quality.
The `corpipe24-corefud1.2-240906` is a `mT5-large`-based multilingual model for coreference resolution usable in CorPipe 24 (https://github.com/ufal/crac2024-corpipe). It is released under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
The model is language agnostic (no corpus id on input), so it can be in theory used to predict coreference in any `mT5` language.
This model jointly predicts also the empty nodes needed for zero coreference. The paper introducing this model also presents an alternative two-stage approach first predicting empty nodes (via https://www.kaggle.com/models/ufal-mff/crac2024_zero_nodes_baseline/) and then performing coreference resolution (via http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-5673), which is circa twice as slow but slightly better.
Corpus of texts in 12 languages. For each language, we provide one training, one development and one testing set acquired from Wikipedia articles. Moreover, each language dataset contains (substantially larger) training set collected from (general) Web texts. All sets, except for Wikipedia and Web training sets that can contain similar sentences, are disjoint. Data are segmented into sentences which are further word tokenized.
All data in the corpus contain diacritics. To strip diacritics from them, use Python script diacritization_stripping.py contained within attached stripping_diacritics.zip. This script has two modes. We generally recommend using method called uninames, which for some languages behaves better.
The code for training recurrent neural-network based model for diacritics restoration is located at https://github.com/arahusky/diacritics_restoration.
COSTRA 1.0 is a dataset of Czech complex sentence transformations. The dataset is intended for the study of sentence-level embeddings beyond simple word alternations or standard paraphrasing.
The dataset consist of 4,262 unique sentences with average length of 10 words, illustrating 15 types of modifications such as simplification, generalization, or formal and informal language variation.
The hope is that with this dataset, we should be able to test semantic properties of sentence embeddings and perhaps even to find some topologically interesting “skeleton” in the sentence embedding space.
Costra 1.1 is a new dataset for testing geometric properties of sentence embeddings spaces. In particular, it concentrates on examining how well sentence embeddings capture complex phenomena such paraphrases, tense or generalization. The dataset is a direct expansion of Costra 1.0, which was extended with more sentences and sentence comparisons.
CsEnVi Pairwise Parallel Corpora consist of Vietnamese-Czech parallel corpus and Vietnamese-English parallel corpus. The corpora were assembled from the following sources:
- OPUS, the open parallel corpus is a growing multilingual corpus of translated open source documents.
The majority of Vi-En and Vi-Cs bitexts are subtitles from movies and television series.
The nature of the bitexts are paraphrasing of each other's meaning, rather than translations.
- TED talks, a collection of short talks on various topics, given primarily in English, transcribed and with transcripts translated to other languages. In our corpus, we use 1198 talks which had English and Vietnamese transcripts available and 784 talks which had Czech and Vietnamese transcripts available in January 2015.
The size of the original corpora collected from OPUS and TED talks is as follows:
CS/VI EN/VI
Sentence 1337199/1337199 2035624/2035624
Word 9128897/12073975 16638364/17565580
Unique word 224416/68237 91905/78333
We improve the quality of the corpora in two steps: normalizing and filtering.
In the normalizing step, the corpora are cleaned based on the general format of subtitles and transcripts. For instance, sequences of dots indicate explicit continuation of subtitles across multiple time frames. The sequences of dots are distributed differently in the source and the target side. Removing the sequence of dots, along with a number of other normalization rules, improves the quality of the alignment significantly.
In the filtering step, we adapt the CzEng filtering tool [1] to filter out bad sentence pairs.
The size of cleaned corpora as published is as follows:
CS/VI EN/VI
Sentence 1091058/1091058 1113177/1091058
Word 6718184/7646701 8518711/8140876
Unique word 195446/59737 69513/58286
The corpora are used as training data in [2].
