Exploring Syntactically Annotated Corpora
Workshop to be held on July 14th
CORPUS LINGUISTICS 2005
University of Birmingham, 14-17 July
http://www.bultreebank.org/ESyntAC/
Workshop motivation and aims
A lot of syntactically annotated corpora have been created
recently for various languages. Therefore, the question of
applicability and usefulness of such resources seems to have
become of big importance. Syntactically annotated corpora can be
viewed in two ways: 1) as a reliable base for resource creation:
further annotation (for example, semantic and discourse
annotation); automatic extraction of linguistic knowledge
(grammar and lexicon extraction; creation of automatic parsing
tools etc.) and environment for testing tools.; 2) as a base for
navigation and search: query languages and support engines.
We envisage a one-day workshop and 10-12 presentations.
Topics of interest:
- creation of resources on top of syntactic corpora;
- various kinds of knowledge extraction;
- creation and testing of parsing tools;
- search languages;
- symbolic and subsymbolic methods for syntactic corpora
exploration;
- software systems for management and accessibility to
syntactically annotated corpora;
- various applications of syntactic corpora.
