RACAI-RoTb: A Core of a Romanian Treebank Syntactically Annotated with Dependency Relations
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2015, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
This article presents the activity of creating a core of a treebank for Romanian, made up of 5000 sentences syntactically annotated with dependency grammar. In Introduction we bring arguments illustrating the need for creating such a language resource in the context of an important lack of electronic representation of Romanian, as compared to other languages (international ones). At the international level, big size treebanks (containing hundreds of thousands of sentences) have been created since the 90’s (section 2.1), while the few initiatives dedicated to Romanian count less than several thousand sentences (section 2.2). We present the selection methodology for the sentences to be included in our corpus (section 3), the dependency grammar we used (section 4), the annotation methodology (section 5) and the results of the evaluation of the automatic annotation with the help of its further manual correction (section 6). In order to speed up the annotation process, we start from a statistical annotation (using a statistic model of syntactic analysis for Spanish) that is subject to manual corrections made by two linguists.
