End-to-end speech-to-text translation (ST) has recently witnessed an increased interest given its system simplicity, lower inference latency and less compounding errors compared to cascaded ST (i.e. speech recognition + machine translation). End-to-end ST model training, however, is often hampered by the lack of parallel data. Thus, we created CoVoST, a large-scale multilingual ST corpus based on Common Voice, to foster ST research with the largest ever open dataset. Its latest version covers translations from English into 15 languages---Arabic, Catalan, Welsh, German, Estonian, Persian, Indonesian, Japanese, Latvian, Mongolian, Slovenian, Swedish, Tamil, Turkish, Chinese---and from 21 languages into English, including the 15 target languages as well as Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian. It has total 2,880 hours of speech and is diversified with 78K speakers.

Over a period of three years (2009 - 2011) the daily news and weather forecast airings of the German public tv-station PHOENIX featuring sign language interpretation have been recorded and the weather forecasts of a subset of 386 editions have been transcribed using gloss notation. Furthermore, we used automatic speech recognition with manual cleaning to transcribe the original German speech. As such, this corpus allows to train end-to-end sign language translation systems from sign language video input to spoken language.

The BUCC mining task is a shared task on parallel sentence extraction from two monolingual corpora with a subset of them assumed to be parallel, and that has been available since 2016. For each language pair, the shared task provides a monolingual corpus for each language and a gold mapping list containing true translation pairs. These pairs are the ground truth. The task is to construct a list of translation pairs from the monolingual corpora. The constructed list is compared to the ground truth, and evaluated in terms of the F1 measure.

Belebele is a multiple-choice machine reading comprehension (MRC) dataset spanning 122 language variants. This dataset enables the evaluation of mono- and multi-lingual models in high-, medium-, and low-resource languages. Each question has four multiple-choice answers and is linked to a short passage from the FLORES-200 dataset. The human annotation procedure was carefully curated to create questions that discriminate between different levels of generalizable language comprehension and is reinforced by extensive quality checks. While all questions directly relate to the passage, the English dataset on its own proves difficult enough to challenge state-of-the-art language models. Being fully parallel, this dataset enables direct comparison of model performance across all languages. Belebele opens up new avenues for evaluating and analyzing the multilingual abilities of language models and NLP systems.

News translation is a recurring WMT task. The test set is a collection of parallel corpora consisting of about 1500 English sentences translated into 5 languages (Czech, German, Finnish, Romanian, Russian, Turkish) and additional 1500 sentences from each of the 5 languages translated to English. For Romanian a third of the test set were released as a development set instead. For Turkish additional 500 sentence development set was released. The sentences were selected from dozens of news websites and translated by professional translators. The training data consists of parallel corpora to train translation models, monolingual corpora to train language models and development sets for tuning. Some training corpora were identical from WMT 2015 (Europarl, United Nations, French-English 10⁹ corpus, Common Crawl, Russian-English parallel data provided by Yandex, Wikipedia Headlines provided by CMU) and some were update (CzEng v1.6pre, News Commentary v11, monolingual news data).

XGLUE is an evaluation benchmark XGLUE,which is composed of 11 tasks that span 19 languages. For each task, the training data is only available in English. This means that to succeed at XGLUE, a model must have a strong zero-shot cross-lingual transfer capability to learn from the English data of a specific task and transfer what it learned to other languages. Comparing to its concurrent work XTREME, XGLUE has two characteristics: First, it includes cross-lingual NLU and cross-lingual NLG tasks at the same time; Second, besides including 5 existing cross-lingual tasks (i.e. NER, POS, MLQA, PAWS-X and XNLI), XGLUE selects 6 new tasks from Bing scenarios as well, including News Classification (NC), Query-Ad Matching (QADSM), Web Page Ranking (WPR), QA Matching (QAM), Question Generation (QG) and News Title Generation (NTG). Such diversities of languages, tasks and task origin provide a comprehensive benchmark for quantifying the quality of a pre-trained model on cross-lingual natural lan

We introduce an object detection dataset in challenging adverse weather conditions covering 12000 samples in real-world driving scenes and 1500 samples in controlled weather conditions within a fog chamber. The dataset includes different weather conditions like fog, snow, and rain and was acquired by over 10,000 km of driving in northern Europe. The driven route with cities along the road is shown on the right. In total, 100k Objekts were labeled with accurate 2D and 3D bounding boxes. The main contributions of this dataset are: - We provide a proving ground for a broad range of algorithms covering signal enhancement, domain adaptation, object detection, or multi-modal sensor fusion, focusing on the learning of robust redundancies between sensors, especially if they fail asymmetrically in different weather conditions. - The dataset was created with the initial intention to showcase methods, which learn of robust redundancies between the sensor and enable a raw data sensor fusion in cas

ParCorFull is a parallel corpus annotated with full coreference chains that has been created to address an important problem that machine translation and other multilingual natural language processing (NLP) technologies face -- translation of coreference across languages. This corpus contains parallel texts for the language pair English-German, two major European languages. Despite being typologically very close, these languages still have systemic differences in the realisation of coreference, and thus pose problems for multilingual coreference resolution and machine translation. This parallel corpus covers the genres of planned speech (public lectures) and newswire. It is richly annotated for coreference in both languages, including annotation of both nominal coreference and reference to antecedents expressed as clauses, sentences and verb phrases.
