Title Annotating Event Anaphora: A Case Study
Authors Tommaso Caselli and Irina Prodanof
Abstract In recent years we have resgitered a renewed interest in event detection andtemporal processing of text/discourse. TimeML (Pustejovsky et al., 2003a) hasshed new lights on the notion of event and developed a new methodology for itsannotation. On a parallel, works on anaphora resolution have developed areliable methodology for the annotation and pointed out the core role of thisphenomenon for the improvement of NLP systems. This paper tries to put togetherthese two lines of research by describing a case study for the creation of anannotation scheme on event anaphora. We claim that this work could haveconsequences for the annotation of eventualities as proposed in TimeML and onthe use of the tag and on the study of anaphora and its annotation. Theannotation scheme and its guidelines have been developed on the basis of acoarse grained bottom up approach. In order to do this, we have performed asmall sampling annotation which has highlighted shortcomings and open issueswhich need to be resolved.
