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.

Automatically generated spelling correction corpus for Czech (Czesl-SEC-AG) is a corpus containg text with automatically generated spelling errors. To create spelling errors, a character error model containing probabilities of character substitution, insertion, deletion and probabilities of swaping two adjacent characters is used. Besides these probabilities, also the probabilities of changing character casing are considered. The original clean text on which the spelling errors were generated is PDT3.0 (http://hdl.handle.net/11858/00-097C-0000-0023-1AAF-3). The original train/dev/test sentence split of PDT3.0 corpus is preserved in this dataset.
Besides the data with artificial spelling errors, we also publish texts from which the character error model was created. These are the original manual transcript of an audiobook Švejk and its corrected version performed by authors of Korektor (http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/korektor). These data are similarly to CzeSL Grammatical Error Correction Dataset (CzeSL-GEC: http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-2143) processed into four sets based on error difficulty present.
