4-10 ELRA and LDC partner on a joint distribution of Language Resources
  

Press Release - Immediate
Paris (France),
Philadelphia, (USA), December 4th, 2015


ELRA and LDC partner on a joint distribution of Language Resources from the 2006 CoNLL shared task.

The Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL) is accompanied every year by a shared task intended to promote natural language processing applications and evaluate them in a standard setting. In 2006, the shared task was devoted to the parsing of syntactic dependencies using corpora from up to thirteen languages. The task aimed to define and extend the then-current state of the art in dependency parsing, a technology that complemented previous tasks by producing a different kind of syntactic description of input text.

Within this framework, ELRA and LDC are pleased to announce the release of 2006 CoNLL Shared Task - Ten Languages and 2006 CoNLL Shared Task ? Arabic & Czech consisting of dependency treebanks used as part of the CoNLL 2006 shared task on multi-lingual dependency parsing.  The languages covered in 2006 CoNLL Shared Task ? Ten Languages are: Bulgarian, Danish, Dutch, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. The source data in the treebanks consists principally of various texts (e.g., textbooks, news, literature) annotated in dependency format.

These packages can be found in the ELRA and LDC catalogues under the following references:
