| Abstract | We have recently converted a dependency treebank, consisting of ancient Greekand Latin texts, from one annotation scheme to another that was independentlydesigned. This paper makes two observations about this conversion process. First, we show that, despite significant surface differences between the twotreebanks, a number of straightforward transformation rules yield a substantiallevel of compatibility between them, giving evidence for their sound design andhigh quality of annotation. Second, we analyze some linguistic annotationsthat require further disambiguation, proposing some simple yet effectivemachine learning methods. |
