MLU warning message

Sun Jul 10 20:31:50 UTC 2016

Hi Brian,

In our actual transcript, there is a coding line between the main tier and %mor:
*MOT:  il roul:e .
%cod: $MULT:VERB:ACT:ADT:roule
%mor:   pro:subj|il v|rouler-PRES&SUB&13s .   (LINE 100)

If MLU program was confused with this coding line, does this affect the MLU result?

Dear Yuriko,
Having one word counted incorrectly would have a minimal effect on the overall MLU unless your database is super small.  However, it is always best to have everything right.  I would need to see your file to see what is wrong.  Perhaps there is some strange character on the line.  Possibly the problem is on some other line and MLU is confused about line numbers.  I run MLU on the snippet you sent and there were no errors, so this has to be some problem in your file.

Subject: MLU warning message

Hi Brian,

When we ran MLU on a French transcript (after MOR &POST),
we got the following warning message:

*** File "c:\Users\Lab\Desktop\Training\work\data\30FInput8_CODED.MOR_CORR.cha": line 100.
WARNING: %MOR: TIER DOES NOT LINK IN SIZE TO ITS SPEAKER TIER.
THIS MAY EFFECT RESULTS OF THE ANALYSES.

*CHI:     &ta .
%act:     pointe l'écran
*MOT:  il roul:e .
%mor:   pro:subj|il v|rouler-PRES&SUB&13s .   (LINE 100)
%tim:    00:03:00
*CHI:     roule .
%mor:   v|rouler-IMP&2s .

The %mor of line 100 looks okay to me. Please let us know what the problem is and how this effect results of MLU analysis.
Thank you.

Yuriko
