Applying Syntactic, Semantic and Discourse Constraints in Chinese Temporal Annotation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a Chinese temporal annotation experiment that produced a sizable data set for the TempEval-2 evaluation campaign. We show that while we have achieved high inter-annotator agreement for simpler tasks such as identification of events and time expressions, temporal relation annotation proves to be much more challenging. We show that in order to improve the inter-annotator agreement it is important to strategically select the annotation targets, and the selection of annotation targets should be subject to syntactic, semantic and discourse constraints.

The PropBank project is creating a corpus of text annotated with information about basic semantic propositions. PropBank I (Kingsbury & Palmer, 2002) added a layer of predicateargument information, or semantic roles, to the syntactic structures of the English Penn Treebank. This paper presents an overview of the second phase of PropBank Annotation, PropBank II, which is being applied to English...
متن کاملATT1: Temporal Annotation Using Big Windows and Rich Syntactic and Semantic Features
In this paper we present the results of experiments comparing (a) rich syntactic and semantic feature sets and (b) big context windows, for the TempEval time expression and event segmentation and classification tasks. We show that it is possible for models using only lexical features to approach the performance of models using rich syntactic and semantic feature sets.
متن کاملDetecting Errors in Discontinuous Structural Annotation
Consistency of corpus annotation is an essential property for the many uses of annotated corpora in computational and theoretical linguistics. While some research addresses the detection of inconsistencies in positional annotation (e.g., partof-speech) and continuous structural annotation (e.g., syntactic constituency), no approach has yet been developed for automatically detecting annotation e...
