New publications:
(1)  AttImam was developed by Al-Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University and
consists of approximately 2,000 attribution relations applied to Arabic
newswire text from Arabic Treebank: Part 1 v 4.1 (LDC2010T13). Attribution
refers to the process of reporting or assigning an utterance to the correct
speaker.  

The source Arabic newswire was collected by LDC from Agence France Presse
articles published in 2000. Files were annotated by native Arabic speakers and
contain the following elements:
- Cue: the lexical anchor that connects the source with the content.
- Source: the entity or the agent that owns the content.
- Content: the basic element expressing the claim or the reported news.
- General Features: these can include such features as attribution style
(direct or indirect), determinacy (factual or non-factual), and purpose (e.g.,
assertion, expression).

AttImam is distributed via web download.

(2)  HAVIC MED Novel 1 Test – Videos, Metadata and Annotation is comprised of
3,800 hours of user-generated videos with annotation and metadata developed by
LDC for the 2015 NIST Multimedia Event Detection tasks. The data consists of
videos of various events (event videos) and videos completely unrelated to
events (background videos). Each event video was manually annotated with
judgments describing its event properties and other salient features.
Background videos were labeled with topic and genre categories.
