Combining Independent Syntactic and Semantic Annotation Schemes

An annotation scheme for Persian based on Autonomous Phrases Theory and Universal Dependencies

A treebank is a corpus with linguistic annotations above the level of the parts of speech. During the first half of the present decade, three treebanks have been developed for Persian either originally or subsequently based on dependency grammar: Persian Treebank (PerTreeBank), Persian Syntactic Dependency Treebank, and Uppsala Persian Dependency Treebank (UPDT). The syntactic analysis of a sen...

A Unified Representation For Morphological, Syntactic, Semantic, And Referential Annotations

This paper reports on the SYN-RA (SYNtax-based Reference Annotation) project, an on-going project of annotating German newspaper texts with referential relations. The project has developed an inventory of anaphoric and coreference relations for German in the context of a unified, XML-based annotation scheme for combining morphological, syntactic, semantic, and anaphoric information. The paper d...

UCCA: A Semantics-based Grammatical Annotation Scheme

Syntactic annotation is an indispensable input for many semantic NLP applications. For instance, Semantic Role Labelling algorithms almost invariably apply some form of syntactic parsing as preprocessing. The categories used for syntactic annotation in NLP generally reflect the formal patterns used to form the text. This results in complex annotation schemes, often tuned to one language or doma...

UCCAApp: Web-application for Syntactic and Semantic Phrase-based Annotation

We present UCCAApp, an open-source, flexible web-application for syntactic and semantic phrase-based annotation in general, and for UCCA annotation in particular. UCCAApp supports a variety of formal properties that have proven useful for syntactic and semantic representation, such as discontiguous phrases, multiple parents and empty elements, making it useful to a variety of other annotation s...
