| Abstract | The Live Memories corpus is an Italian corpus annotated for anaphoricrelations. This annotation effort aims to contribute to two significant issuesfor the CL research: the lack of annotated anaphoric resources for Italian andthe increasing interest for the social Web. The Live Memories Corpus contains texts from the Italian Wikipedia about theregion Trentino/Süd Tirol and from blog sites with users' comments. It isplanned to add a set of articles of local news papers. The corpus includesmanual annotated information about morphosyntactic agreement, anaphoricity, andsemantic class of the NPs. The anaphoric annotation includes discourse deixis,bridging relations and markes cases of ambiguity with the annotation ofalternative interpretations. For the annotation of the anaphoric links thecorpus takes into account specific phenomena of the Italian language likeincorporated clitics and phonetically non realized pronouns. Reliability studies for the annotation of the mentioned phenomena and forannotation of anaphoric links in general offer satisfactory results. TheWikipedia and blogs dataset will be distributed under Creative CommonsAttributions licence. |
