(1) Althingi Parliamentary Speech consists of approximately 540 hours of
recorded speech from Althingi, the Icelandic Parliament, along with
corresponding transcripts, a pronunciation dictionary, and language models.
Speeches date from 2005-2016. This data set was collected in 2016 by the ASR
for Althingi project at Reykjavik University in collaboration with the
Althingi speech department. The purpose of that project was to develop an ASR
(automatic speech recognition) system for Icelandic parliamentary speech to
replace the procedure of manually transcribing performed speeches.

Althingi Parliamentary Speech is distributed via web download.

(2) Penn Discourse Treebank 2.0 – German Translation  was developed at the
University of Potsdam’s Applied Computational Linguistics group and consists
of approximately one million tokens derived from Penn Discourse Treebank
Version 2.0 (LDC2008T05) translated into German and annotated for shallow
discourse relations. The aim of the Penn Discourse Treebank  project is to
annotate the Wall Street Journal section in Treebank-2 (LDC95T7) with
discourse relations. PDTB-German is based on a subset of PDTB2.0 used in the
2016 CoNLL Shared Task on Multilingual Shallow Discourse Parsing.

Penn Discourse Treebank 2.0 – German Translation is distributed via web
download.
