Summary
"Bengali is spoken mainly in Bangladesh and elsewhere in the Bengal region of South Asia. Data was collected in the following genres: news, social network, and weblogs. Both monolingual text collection and parallel text creation involved a combination of manual and automatic methods. Data volumes are as follows: Over 225,000 words of Wolof monolingual text, all of which were translated into English -- Over 144 million words of Bengali monolingual text, approximately 358,000 of which were translated into English -- 96,000 Bengali words translated from English data -- 2 million words of found Bengali-English parallel text. Approximately 86,000 words were annotated for named entities, and up to 25,000 words contain additional annotation, including situation frames (identifying entities, needs and issues) and entity linking and detection. Lexical resources and software tools are also included in this release. The tools recreate original source data from the processed XML material, condition text data users download from Twitter, apply sentence segmentation to raw text, and support named entity tagging. Monolingual and parallel text are presented in XML with associated dtds. Annotation data is presented as tab delimited files or XML. All text is UTF-8 encoded." --LDC online catalog.
