We describe here a Web inventory named
WIT3
that offers access to a collection of
transcribed and translated talks. The core
of WIT3
is the TED Talks corpus, that
basically redistributes the original content
published by the TED Conference website (http://www.ted.com). Since 2007,
the TED Conference, based in California,
has been posting all video recordings of
its talks together with subtitles in English
and their translations in more than 80 languages. Aside from its cultural and social relevance, this content, which is published under the Creative Commons BYNC-ND license, also represents a precious
language resource for the machine translation research community, thanks to its size,
variety of topics, and covered languages.
This effort repurposes the original content
in a way which is more convenient for machine translation researchers.
