چکیده

Arabic writing is typically underspecified for short vowels and other markups, referred to as diacritics. In addition to the lexical ambiguity exhibited in most languages, the lack of diacritics in written Arabic adds another layer of ambiguity which is an artifact of the orthography. In this paper, we present the details of three annotation experimental conditions designed to study the impact of automatic ambiguity detection, on annotation speed and quality in a large scale annotation project.

Linguistic Issues in Language Technology – LiLT

In this article, we investigate ambiguity in syntactic annotation. The ambiguity in question is inherent in a way that even human annotators interpret the meaning differently. In our experiment, we detect potential structurally ambiguous sentences with Constraint Grammar rules. In the linguistic phenomena we investigate, structural ambiguity is primarily caused by word order. The potentially am...

Towards Adaptation of Linguistic Annotations to Scholarly Annotation Formalisms on the Semantic Web

This paper explores how and why the Linguistic Annotation Framework might be adapted for compatibility with recent more general proposals for the representation of annotations in the Semantic Web, referred to here as the Open Annotation models. We argue that the adapted model, in addition to being interoperable with other annotations and annotation tools, also resolves some representational lim...

Show and Tell: Using Speech Input for Image Interpretation and Annotation

This research concerns the exploitation of linguistic context in vision. Linguistic context is qualitative in nature and is obtained dynamically. We view this as a new paradigm which is a golden mean between data driven object detection and site-model based vision. Our solution not only proposes new techniques for using qualitative contextual information, but also efficiently exploits existing ...

Complex Predicates Annotation in a Corpus of Portuguese

We present an annotation scheme for the annotation of complex predicates, understood as constructions with more than one lexical unit, each contributing part of the information normally associated with a single predicate. We discuss our annotation guidelines of four types of complex predicates, and the treatment of several difficult cases, related to ambiguity, overlap and coordination. We then...

Unsupervised Object Annotation through Context Analysis

The goal of object level annotation is to locate and identify instances of an object category within an image. Nowadays, Most of the current object level annotation systems annotate the object according to the visual appearance in the image. Recognizing an object in an image based visual appearance yield ambiguity in object detection due to appearance confusion for example “sky” object may be a...
