This small dataset contains 3 speech corpora collected using the Alex Translate telephone service (https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/alex#alex-translate).
The "part1" and "part2" corpora contain English speech with transcriptions and Czech translations. These recordings were collected from users of the service. Part 1 contains earlier recordings, filtered to include only clean speech; Part 2 contains later recordings with no filtering applied.
The "cstest" corpus contains recordings of artificially created sentences, each containing one or more Czech names of places in the Czech Republic. These were recorded by a multinational group of students studying in Prague.
This dataset contains automatic paraphrases of Czech official reference translations for the Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation shared task. The data covers the years 2011, 2013 and 2014.
For each sentence, at most 10000 paraphrases were included (randomly selected from the full set).
The goal of using this dataset is to improve automatic evaluation of machine translation outputs.
