*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:
