The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) is pleased to announce the
availability of the Chinese-English Translation Lexicon Version 3.0.
This ftp publication is the result of urgent demand for a
Chinese-English bilingual wordlist to support various TIDES 
and EARS projects. Previously, the LDC had compiled two versions of 
Chinese-English wordlists, Version 1.0 and Version 2.0, which are
available for free at:
 
http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Projects/Chinese/
 
In terms of coverage, Version 3.0 is a superset of Version 1.0 and
the LDC's Mandarin pronunciation lexicon.

For further information, including details on the differences between
Version 3.0 and previous versions of this lexicon, please visit:
 
http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/LDC2002L27.html
 
Institutions that have membership in the LDC during the 2002
Membership Year will be able to receive this database free of charge.
Nonmembers may purchase this publication for $200.

The LDC has made available the SPINE1 and SPINE2 Language Models 
through our catalog pages. These language models (LM) were 
developed at Carnegie Mellon University for use by SPINE participants.
They are simple trigram LMs with absolute discounting. 

The SPINE1 Language Model is available through the Speech in Noisy 
Environments (SPINE) Evaluation Transcripts catalog page:

http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/LDC2000T54.html

under 'Updates' and the SPINE2 Language Model is located on the
Speech in Noisy Environments (SPINE2) Part 3 Transcripts catalog page:

http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/LDC2001T09.html

also under 'Updates'.
