Parser What is this work about? Evaluation and the BNC Jennifer Foster and Josef van Genabith BNC Gold Standard Parser Evaluation 1. Creating a set of gold standard parse trees for The Parsers The Metrics 1,000 sentences from the BNC Evaluation Results 2. Using these trees as a test set to evaluate various parsers

Parser The British National Corpus Evaluation and the BNC Jennifer Foster and Josef van Genabith The BNC is a one hundred million word BNC Gold balanced corpus of British English (Burnard, Standard Parser 2000) Evaluation The Parsers The Metrics ◮ 90% of the BNC is written text Evaluation Results ◮ 75% factual ◮ 25% fiction ◮ The 10% spoken component consists of ◮ informal dialogue ◮ business meetings ◮ speeches

Parser BNC Test Set: Choosing the sentences Evaluation and the BNC Jennifer Foster and Josef van 1,000 sentences in test set Genabith BNC Gold Standard Parser ◮ Not chosen completely at random Evaluation The Parsers ◮ They are different from WSJ training data: The Metrics Evaluation ◮ Contain a verb in BNC but not in WSJ2-21 Results ◮ 25,874 verb lemmas in BNC but not in WSJ2-21 ◮ 14,787 occur only once in BNC (e.g. jitter, unfade, transpersonalize, kerplonk ) ◮ 537 occur greater than 100 times (e.g. murmur, frown, damn ) ◮ Likely to represent a difficult test for WSJ-trained parsers

Parser BNC Test Set: Annotation Process Evaluation and the BNC Jennifer Foster and Josef van Genabith BNC Gold ◮ One annotator Standard Parser ◮ Two passes through the data Evaluation The Parsers ◮ Approximately 100 hours The Metrics Evaluation Results ◮ As references, the annotator used 1. Penn Treebank bracketing guidelines (Bies et al 1995) 2. Penn Treebank itself ◮ Functional tags and traces not annotated
Parser BNC Test Set: Annotation Difficulties Evaluation and the BNC Jennifer Foster and Josef van What happens when the references clash? Genabith BNC Gold Standard ◮ The noun phrase almost certain death occurs in Parser Evaluation BNC gold standard sentence The Parsers The Metrics Evaluation ◮ According to the guidelines, it should be Results annotated as (NP (ADJP almost certain) death) ◮ A search for almost in the Penn Treebank yields the following example (NP almost unimaginable speed) ◮ In such cases, annotator chose the analysis set out in the guidelines
