Corpus inventory

The most popular parts of our corpus collection are stored on AFS at /afs/ir/data/linguistic-data/.  The corpus TA also has hard copies of every corpus in our collection and can help you find whatever you may be looking for.

LDC Corpora

Most of our corpora are provided by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC), and we have nearly all of the LDC corpora released since about 2000. 

See the full catalog of LDC corpora

On AFS

All LDC Corpora that have been uploaded are stored on the within the /ldc directory, with the corpus starting with the LDC code.  For example, you can find the Chinese Propbank corpus (LDC2005T23) at:

    /afs/ir/data/linguistic-data/ldc/LDC2005T23-Chinese-PropBank-1.0

Only high-demand LDC corpora are uploaded to AFS.  If you find something in the catalog that you can't find on AFS, contact the corpus TA.

A complete inventory of LDC corpora is also maintained on the NLP group’s internal machines, at:
