Title Computer Assisted Semantic Annotation in the DutchSemCor Project
Authors Attila Görög and Piek Vossen
Abstract The goal of this paper is to describe the annotation protocols and the SemanticAnnotation Tool (SAT) used in the DutchSemCor project. The DutchSemCor projectis aiming at aligning the Cornetto lexical database with the Dutch languagecorpus SoNaR. 250K corpus occurrences of the 3,000 most frequent and mostambiguous Dutch nouns, adjectives and verbs are being annotated manually usingthe SAT. This data is then used for bootstrapping 750K extra occurrences whichin turn will be checked manually. Our main focus in this paper is themethodology applied in the project to attain the envisaged Inter-annotatorAgreement (IA) of =80%. We will also discuss one of the main objectives ofDutchSemCor i.e. to provide semantically annotated language data with highscores for quantity, quality and diversity. Sample data with high scores forthese three features can yield better results for co-training WSD systems.Finally, we will take a brief look at our annotation tool.
