Portuguese Morpholympics data released.

Linguateca is pleased to announce that data, results and programs of
the first evaluation contest for Portuguese Morfolimpíadas are now
available for download at Linguateca's site. www.linguateca.pt ->
Avaliação conjunta -> Morfolimpíadas (and also as a tar file).

The 1st Portuguese Morpholympics's last round took place at
Avalon'2003 the 28th June 2003, at Faro, Universidade do Algarve. We
have finally managed to create a distribution with everything in
place.

The winner of the contest was Eckhard Bick's PALMORF. Seven other
systems, from Portugal and Brazil, participated in the evaluation
contest and kindly gave us the right to distribute the material.

We distribute the golden list used, the input texts, the output of
every system (after anonymization) and the programs used to compute
the results. We also provide extensive documentation (in Portuguese),
including the actual results made available already in June.

We believe that a corpus of differently tokenized and morhologically
analysed running Portuguese text is interesting for further research
in Portuguese morphology, tokenization and to improve evaluation
setups.
