MATERIAL Somali-English Language Pack

MATERIAL Somali-English Language Pack was developed by Appen for the IARPA (Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity) MATERIAL (Machine Translation for English Retrieval of Information in Any Language) program. It contains approximately 80 hours of Somali conversational telephone speech, transcripts, English translations, annotations and queries. The MATERIAL program focused on underserved languages with the ultimate goal to build cross language information retrieval systems to find speech and text content using English search queries.
