CATiB: The Columbia Arabic Treebank
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Columbia Arabic Treebank (CATiB) is a database of syntactic analyses of Arabic sentences. CATiB contrasts with previous approaches to Arabic treebanking in its emphasis on speed with some constraints on linguistic richness. Two basic ideas inspire the CATiB approach: no annotation of redundant information and using representations and terminology inspired by traditional Arabic syntax. We describe CATiB’s representation and annotation procedure, and report on interannotator agreement and speed.

Syntactic Annotation in the Columbia Arabic Treebank
Abstract The Columbia Arabic Treebank (CATiB) is a database of syntactic analyses of Arabic sentences. CATiB contrasts with previous approaches to Arabic treebanking in its emphasis on faster production with some constraints on linguistic richness. Two basic ideas inspire the CATiB approach. First, CATiB avoids the annotation of redundant linguistic information that is determinable automaticall...

متن کاملDeveloping An Arabic Treebank: Methods, Guidelines, Procedures, And Tools
In this paper we address the following questions from our experience of the last two and a half years in developing a large-scale corpus of Arabic text annotated for morphological information, part-of-speech, English gloss, and syntactic structure: (a) How did we ‘leapfrog’ through the stumbling blocks of both methodology and training in setting up the Penn Arabic Treebank (ATB) annotation? (b)...
متن کاملSyntactic Analysis of the Tunisian Arabic
In this paper, we study the problem of syntactic analysis of Dialectal Arabic (DA). Actually, corpora are considered as an important resource for the automatic processing of languages. Thus, we propose a method of creating a treebank for the Tunisian Arabic (TA) “Tunisian Treebank” in order to adapt an Arabic parser to treat the TA which is considered as a variant of the Arabic language.
