The project aimes to create a computational model of the text structure in Czech and in English that serves for NLP purposes. The project is based on the data from two annotated corpora: Prague Dependency Treebank (Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic) and Penn Discourse Treebank (University of Pennsylvania, USA). In the course of the project, the Czech Prague Discourse Treebank 1.0 has been be completed and released http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/discourse/, and the multilingual data has been be used for testing and subsequent improvement of annotation systems. The results of the analyses are available for automatic information retrieval, text summarization or machine translation.
