Evaluation of parsed corpora: Experiments in user-transparent and user-visible evaluation
Diana Santos, Caroline Gasperin · 2002
In the present paper, we describe and discuss the evaluation of parsed corpora, namely the ones that are available on the Web for querying in the AC/DC project.The paper has two parts: the first one suggests a set of different evaluation parameters and measures that are much more illuminating than commonly used simple precision measures, while the second evaluates the parsed corpus for a particular task --that of automatic thesaurus building.The two evaluations are thus complementary, in that, in Gaizauskas (1998) terminology, the first is a typical user-transparent evaluation, while the second is user-visible.
