Creating an Annotated Tamil Corpus as a Discourse Resource
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe our efforts to apply the Penn Discourse Treebank guidelines on a Tamil corpus to create an annotated corpus of discourse relations in Tamil. After conducting a preliminary exploratory study on Tamil discourse connectives, we show our observations and results of a pilot experiment that we conducted by annotating a small portion of our corpus. Our ultimate goal is to develop a Tamil Discourse Relation Bank that will be useful as a resource for further research in Tamil discourse. Furthermore, a study of the behavior of discourse connectives in Tamil will also help in furthering the cross-linguistic understanding of discourse connectives.

متن کاملThe Penn Discourse TreeBank as a Resource for Natural Language Generation
While many advances have been made in Natural Language Generation (NLG), the scope of the field has been somewhat restricted because of the lack of annotated corpora from which properties of texts can be automatically acquired and applied towards the development of generation systems. In this paper, we describe how the Penn Discourse TreeBank (PDTB) can serve as a valuable large scale annotated...

The paper presents a project aiming at collecting, annotating and exploiting a dialogue corpus from a multimodal perspective. The goal of the project is the description of the different parameters involved in a natural interaction process. Describing such complex mechanism requires corpora annotated in different domains. This paper first presents the corpus and the scheme used in order to annot...
متن کاملBuilding a Discourse-Tagged Corpus in the Framework of Rhetorical Structure Theory
We describe our experience in developing a discourse-annotated corpus for community-wide use. Working in the framework of Rhetorical Structure Theory, we were able to create a large annotated resource with very high consistency, using a well-defined methodology and protocol. This resource is made publicly available through the Linguistic Data Consortium to enable researchers to develop empirica...
