[Corpora-List] Portuguese Morpholympics data finally released

[Santos Diana]

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.
