New publications:
Diaspora Tibetan Speech was developed at Yale University. It contains
28 hours of Tibetan elicited speech by 73 speakers from the diaspora
Tibetan community in Kathmandu, Nepal, along with transcripts,
elicitation materials, and speaker metadata.

Recordings were collected in 2016. All speakers were adults and varied
in age as well as age of diaspora. A substantial number of speakers
were born in Nepal. Each speaker contributed one recording comprising
a series of elicitation tasks: some demographic information; a word
list and numbers; some sentences in isolation; a scripted story; and
free speech based on "frog story" type illustrations.  Annotation and
metadata formats include PDF and Word (some transcripts), Excel (some
transcripts, speaker metadata) and Praat TextGrids (word and number
lists).

2024 members can access this corpus through their LDC accounts.
Non-members may license this data for a fee.

AIDA Scenario 2 Practice Topic Annotation was developed by LDC and is
comprised of annotations for 29 English, Russian, and Spanish
documents (text, image, and video) from AIDA Scenario 2  Practice
Topic Source Data (LDC2024T04), specifically, the set of practice
documents designated for annotation in Phase 2.

Annotations are presented as tab separated files in the following
categories for each topic:
•       Mentions: single references in source data to a real-world
entity or filler, event, or relation.
•       Slots: pre-defined roles in an event or relation filled by an
argument (entity mention).
•       Linking: entity mentions linked to entries in the knowledge
base as a method of indicating the real-world entity to which an
entity referred.

2024 members can access this corpus through their LDC accounts.
Non-members may license this data for a fee.
