(2) IARPA
Babel Vietnamese Language Pack IARPA-babel107b-v0.7 was developed by Appen
for the IARPA (Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity) Babel program.
It contains approximately 201 hours
of Vietnamese conversational and scripted telephone speech collected in
2012 along with corresponding transcripts.
The Babel program focuses on underserved languages and
seeks to develop speech recognition technology that can be rapidly applied to
any human language to support keyword search performance over large amounts of
recorded speech.
The Vietnamese
speech in this release represents that spoken in the North, North-Central,
Central and Southern dialect regions in Vietnam. The gender distribution among
speakers is approximately equal;
speakers' ages range from 16 years to 64 years. Calls were made using
different telephones (e.g., mobile, landline) from a variety of environments
including the street, a home or office, a public place, and inside a vehicle.
Transcripts are encoded in UTF-8.
IARPA Babel Vietnamese Language Pack IARPA-babel107b-v0.7
is distributed via web download.

(3) MWE-Aware English Dependency Corpus was developed by the Nara
Institute of Science and Technology Computational Linguistics Laboratory and consists of
English compound function words annotated in dependency format. The data is
derived from the Wall Street Journal portion of OntoNotes Release 5.0 (LDC2013T19).
Compound function words are a type of multiword expression
(MWE). MWEs are groups of tokens that can be treated as a single semantic or
syntactic unit. Doing so facilitates natural language processing tasks such as
constituency and dependency parsing.
MWE-Aware English Dependency Corpus is distributed via
web download.
