    New 2002 Publication

    Chinese-English Translation Lexicon Version 3.0

    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'.
