[Corpora-List] Corpora annotated with coreference relations and word senses?

[Josef Meyer]

Dear List,

I am a PhD student currently doing research into resolving associative
anaphors.  My approach to filtering antecedents involves learning
semantic relationships between concepts from a (automatically) parsed
corpus.  Until now, my evaluations have made use of about 1000
instances of associative anaphors drawn from a set of encyclopedia
entries; however, this is clearly inadequate for the sort of
evaluation that I would like to include in my thesis.

I was wondering about the availability of corpora of written
English annotated with the following types of information:

(1) Coreference relationships between NPs

(2) Bridging relationships between NPs, and

(3) Word sense information (WordNet synsets) for NPs

Ideally I would like to find a number of domain-restricted corpora
annotated with all three types of information; however, I am well
aware that it is unlikely that any such corpus currently exists.
What I am hoping for is a pointer to a corpus annotated with (1) and
(3).

Currently I am aware of the following publically-available corpora
that are annotated with WordNet senses:

- SemCor, which contains a subset of the brown corpus annotated with
  WordNet 1.6 senses (http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/wn1.6.shtml)

- The Senseval-1 and Senseval-2 corpora, the latter of which contains
  many instances of a limited set of words annotated with WordNet 1.7
  senses, and is mainly drawn from the WSJ entries in the Penn
  Treebank (http://www.senseval.org/)

I have also come across the following corpora that are annotated with
coreference information:

- A corpus of 7 texts (mainly instructional) from the University of
  Wolverhampton (http://clg.wlv.ac.uk/resources/corpus.html)

Some time ago I thought that I had seen a set of WSJ entries annotated
with coreference information, but I wasn't able to locate this in the
quick search that I performed yesterday.

Regards,

- jo
