Cars and Travel

This corpus is a collection of human-computer dialogs in natural language collected by means of Wizard of Oz techniques. They cover a number of different applications for which natural-language interfaces have been assumed to be suitable: information systems, expert systems and booking systems. The main part of the corpus consists of 60 dialogs covering two different domains (second-hand cars and tourist travel), two different systems (information system and booking system) and two different scenarios, one in which the user knew the background system was operated by a human, and one in which the user was told that she was interacting with the background system directly.

Linköping Translation Corpus

This corpus consists of five different user manuals for computer systems, the English source texts and their Swedish translations. In addition there are two pieces of fiction and some other texts. The corpus is aligned at sentence level and some 500 sentences from each sub-corpus have been tagged for parts of speech. The corpus has been collected and annotated as part of a project on translation aids.

Parts of the corpus are available for research purposes, while other parts are not available without permission from the copyright holders.

Parts of the corpus are now being integrated in the corpus of the PLUG project, a joint effort with the department of linguistics at Uppsala University and the department of Swedish language at Göteborg University.
