Subject: EVALDA/EASY:  Evaluation campaign - French Parsers


The EASY evaluation campaign started on 15th October 2004;
it will run until next 15th December.

This evaluation campaign aims at creating and applying an evaluation methodology
to evaluate parsers for the French language. It also aims at building a low cost
validated language resource obtained by combining automatically the annotated
data produced with the test corpus. The aim is also to create a community around
evaluation of parsers for French.

The corpus contains 1 million words, extracted from newspapers articles and
official reports, medical documents, emails, questions, speech transcriptions
and literature texts. The evaluation measures will be calculated on the corpus
type and on several dimensions.

In order to make the evaluation possible, a common formalism has been adopted by
the participants. They will have to adapt the output of their parsers to conform
to this formalism.
