Constructing an anaphorically annotated corpus with non-experts
Jon Chamberlain, Udo Kruschwitz, Massimo Poesio · 2009
This paper reports on the ongoing work of Phrase Detectives, an attempt to create a very large anaphorically annotated text corpus. Annotated corpora of the size needed for modern computational linguistics research cannot be created by small groups of hand-annotators however the ESP game and similar games with a purpose have demonstrated how it might be possible to do this through Web collaboration. We show that this approach could be used to create large, high-quality natural language resources.
