Subject: Enhanced Large Scale Colloquial Persian Language Understanding (LSCP) Corpus

 
I am thrilled to announce our new study on informal language understanding
which will be announced in LREC 2020.
This is the first public contribution of our effort for informal spoken
Persian (Farsi) language understanding and multilingual corpus for the
low-resourced aspect of spoken language. The language in its oral form is
typically much more dynamic than its written form. The written variety of a
language typically involves a higher level of ritual, whereas the spoken form
is characterised by several contractions and abbreviations. In formal written
texts, longer and tougher sentences tend to be used as the reader can re-read
the troublesome parts if they lose track.

More information can be found at https://iasbs.ac.ir/~ansari/lscp/ and the
corpus is available in the LINDAT/CLARIN-CZ repository via
http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-3195. LSCP has approx. 120M sentences from 27M
casual Persian tweets with its dependency relations in syntactic annotation,
part-of-speech tags, sentiment polarity and translations in English, German,
Czech, Italian and Hindi spoken languages.
