MT folks,
I'm pleased to let you know that the list of resources available from
the LDC for the MT09 Constrained training track, as well as the
corresponding LDC license agreement, are now available. You can find
them here:
http://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/mig/tests/mt/2009/MT09_ConstrainedResources.pdf
http://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/mig/tests/mt/2009/2009_NIST_MTOpenEval_Agmnt_V3.pdf
Please note that the license agreement applies not just to Constrained
training resources, but also to the MT09 evaluation data. All who
register must submit the license agreement to the LDC and minimally
check off the "MT09 Evaluation Data" item at the bottom of the list.
Also note that there may be a slight delay in processing requests for
data that requires distribution on DVD media. E-corpus requests are
usually accommodated within 2-5 business days.
You can find the original announcement of MT09 below. Please direct
any questions to [email protected]. We hope to see you participate in
MT09!
Best,
Kay / NIST Open MT Team.
