Hi again,
The Block World Corpus is now updated. Added 3-gram Language models and
evaluation files with examples of test sentences. Corrected some errors
in the Danish files, but unfortunately they have not yet been reviewed
by any Dane.
You can find the files in the download folder at my site tunedal.nu:

Enjoy!
