ELRA and LDC partner on a joint distribution of Language Resources
ELRA and LDC are pleased to announce the release of
1) three corpora from the 2007 CoNLL Shared Task, consisting of dependency treebanks, used as part of the CoNLL 2007 shared task on multi-lingual dependency parsing and the domain adaptation track. The source data in the treebanks consists for the most part of various texts (e.g., textbooks, news, literature) annotated in dependency format, and
2) one TRAD Chinese-French Parallel Text, which includes French translations of a subset of approximately 10,000 Chinese words from LDC?s GALE Phase 1 Chinese Blog Parallel.

***About CoNLL and the 2007 shared task***
The Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL) is accompanied every year by a shared task intended to promote NLP applications and evaluate them in a standard setting. In 2007, 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. The 2007 shared task also included a domain adaptation track for English.
