Annotated Corpora

Annotated corpora are only useful if their annotations are consistent. Most large-scale annotation efforts take special measures to reconcile inter-annotator disagreement. To date, however, no-one has investigated how to automatically …...

AbstractManual text annotation is a resource-consuming endeavor necessary for NLP systems when they target new tasks or domains for which there are no existing annotated corpora. Distributing the annotation work …...

AbstractWe present a definiteness annotation scheme that captures the semantic, pragmatic, and discourse information, which we call communicative functions, associated with linguistic descriptions such as “a story about my speech”, …...

AbstractAnnotated corpora are essential resources for many applications in Natural Language Processing. They provide insight on the linguistic and semantic characteristics of the genre and domain covered, and can be …...

AbstractCrowdsourcing is an emerging collaborative approach that can be used for the acquisition of annotated corpora and a wide range of other linguistic resources. Although the use of this approach …...

AbstractThe development of annotated corpora is a critical process in the development of speech applications for multiple target languages. While the technology to develop a monolingual speech application has reached …...

This work introduces a new approach for aspect based sentiment analysis task. Its main purpose is to automatically assign the correct polarity for the aspect term in a phrase. It …...

This paper describes a system sub- mitted to SemEval-2014 Task 4B: Sentiment Analysis in Twitter, by the team UMCC DLSI Sem integrated by researchers of the University of Matanzas, Cuba …...

Analyzing arguments in user-generated Web discourse has recently gained atten- tion in argumentation mining, an evolving field of NLP. Current approaches, which employ fully-supervised machine learn- ing, are usually domain …...

A microblog repost tree provides strong clues on how an event described therein develops. To help social media users capture the main clues of events on mi- croblogging sites, we …...

AbstractThis article presents the results we obtained on a complex annotation task (that of dependency syntax) using a specifically designed Game with a Purpose, ZombiLingo. We show that with suitable …...

AbstractHandling figurative language like irony is currently a challenging task in natural language processing. Since irony is commonly used in user-generated content, its presence can significantly undermine accurate analysis of …...

Theoretical studies on the Information Structure–prosody interface argue that the content packaged in terms of theme and rheme correlates with the intonation of the corresponding sentence. However, there are few …...

This article describes the creation of corpora with part-of-speech annotations for three regional languages of France: Alsatian, Occitan and Picard. These manual annotations were performed in the context of the …...

AbstractRecognizing temporal relations among events and time expressions has been an essential but challenging task in natural language processing. Conventional annotation of judging temporal relations puts a heavy load on …...

AbstractOn the one hand, nowadays, fake news articles are easily propagated through various online media platforms and have become a grand threat to the trustworthiness of information. On the other …...

AbstractWhile high quality gold standard annotated corpora are crucial for most tasks in natural language processing, many annotated corpora published in recent years, created by annotators or tools, contains noisy …...

AbstractAspect-based sentiment analysis involves the recognition of so called opinion target expressions (OTEs). To automatically extract OTEs, supervised learning algorithms are usually employed which are trained on manually annotated corpora. …...

AbstractNegation is a universal linguistic phenomenon with a great qualitative impact on natural language processing applications. The availability of corpora annotated with negation is essential to training negation processing systems. …...

AbstractTweets are specific text data when compared to general text. Although sentiment analysis over tweets has become very popular in the last decade for English, it is still difficult to …...
