The Bracketing Guidelines for the Penn Chinese Treebank (3.0)
نویسندگان
چکیده
This document describes the bracketing guidelines for the Penn Chinese Treebank Project. The goal of the project is the creation of a 100-thousand-word corpus of Mandarin Chinese text with syntactic bracketing. The Chinese Treebank has been released via the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and is available to the public. This document can be divided into six parts. Section I discusses six fundamental grammatical relations that are represented in the Treebank. Section II introduces the bracketing tagset, which includes 23 syntactic labels, 26 functional tags, and 7 tags for null elements. Section III, IV and V specify our annotation schemata for noun phrases, verbs phrases, and other minor categories, respectively. Section VI describes our treatment for empty categories, such as trace for syntactic movement, PRO for control, and pro for argument drop. Section VII and VIII cover the coordinated clauses and subordinating clauses. Section IX, X and XI specify the way we handle punctuation, ambiguity, and some problematic cases.

The Part-Of-Speech Tagging Guidelines for the Penn Chinese Treebank (3.0)
This document describes the Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging guidelines for the Penn Chinese Treebank Project. The goal of the project is the creation of a 100-thousand-word corpus of Mandarin Chinese text with syntactic bracketing. The Chinese Treebank has been released via the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and is available to the public. The POS tagging guidelines have been revised several tim...
متن کاملSemi-automatically Developing Chinese HPSG Grammar from the Penn Chinese Treebank for Deep Parsing
In this paper, we introduce our recent work on Chinese HPSG grammar development through treebank conversion. By manually defining grammatical constraints and annotation rules, we convert the bracketing trees in the Penn Chinese Treebank (CTB) to be an HPSG treebank. Then, a large-scale lexicon is automatically extracted from the HPSG treebank. Experimental results on the CTB 6.0 show that a HPS...
متن کاملThe Penn Chinese TreeBank: Phrase structure annotation of a large corpus
With growing interest in Chinese Language Processing, numerous NLP tools (e.g., word segmenters, part-of-speech taggers, and parsers) for Chinese have been developed all over the world. However, since no large-scale bracketed corpora are available to the public, these tools are trained on corpora with di erent segmentation criteria, part-of-speech tagsets and bracketing guidelines, and therefor...
متن کاملAdding Noun Phrase Structure to the Penn Treebank
The Penn Treebank does not annotate within base noun phrases (NPs), committing only to flat structures that ignore the complexity of English NPs. This means that tools trained on Treebank data cannot learn the correct internal structure of NPs. This paper details the process of adding gold-standard bracketing within each noun phrase in the Penn Treebank. We then examine the consistency and reli...
متن کاملIterative Transformation of Annotation Guidelines for Constituency Parsing
This paper presents an effective algorithm of annotation adaptation for constituency treebanks, which transforms a treebank from one annotation guideline to another with an iterative optimization procedure, thus to build a much larger treebank to train an enhanced parser without increasing model complexity. Experiments show that the transformed Tsinghua Chinese Treebank as additional training d...
