Annotating a parallel monolingual treebank with semantic similarity relations
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We describe an ongoing effort to build a large-scale parallel and comparable monolingual treebank for Dutch of 1 million words, where nodes of dependency trees are aligned and labeled according to a limited set of semantic similarity relations. We address alignment of sentences and dependency trees, both manual and automatic. We introduce new annotation tools, present results from pilot experiments, and discuss complications. We discuss applications in multi-document summarization, question-answering and paraphrase extraction.

Annotating a parallel monolingual treebank with semantic similarity relations
We describe an ongoing effort to build a large-scale parallel/comparable monolingual treebank for Dutch of 1 million words, where nodes of dependency trees are aligned and labeled according to a limited set of semantic similarity relations. We address alignment of sentences and dependency trees, both manual and automatic. We introduce new annotation tools, present results from pilot experiments...
متن کاملConstruction of an aligned monolingual treebank for studying semantic similarity
Modern paraphrase research would benefit from large corpora with detailed annotations. However, currently these corpora are still thin on the ground. In this paper, we describe the development of such a corpus for Dutch, which takes the form of a parallel monolingual treebank consisting of over 2 million tokens and covering various text genres, including both parallel and comparable text. This ...
متن کاملAutomatic analysis of semantic similarity in comparable text through syntactic tree matching
We propose to analyse semantic similarity in comparable text by matching syntactic trees and labeling the alignments according to one of five semantic similarity relations. We present a Memorybased Graph Matcher (MBGM) that performs both tasks simultaneously as a combination of exhaustive pairwise classification using a memory-based learner, followed by global optimization of the alignments usi...
متن کاملUsing the Stockholm TreeAligner
In this paper we present several use cases for the Stockholm TreeAligner, a software tool originally designed for annotating the alignments in a parallel treebank. The tool has been extended and improved to the point that it can now also serve as a general tool for browsing and searching monolingual and parallel treebanks. Among the use cases presented are: building a parallel treebank, browsin...
متن کاملConverting an English-Swedish Parallel Treebank to Universal Dependencies
The paper reports experiences of automatically converting the dependency analysis of the LinES English-Swedish parallel treebank to universal dependencies (UD). The most tangible result is a version of the treebank that actually employs the relations and parts-of-speech categories required by UD, and no other. It is also more complete in that punctuation marks have received dependencies, which ...
