[Corpora-List] Automatically checking a treebank for errors

[Adriane Boyd]

Hi Kevin,

Please check out work by Markus Dickinson and Detmar Meurers on error 
detection in corpus annotation:

http://decca.osu.edu/

For POS and Penn treebank-style annotation, the relevant publications are 
from 2003-2005.  The DECCA software includes code for detecting errors in 
POS annotation, Penn treebank-style syntax trees, syntactic annotation 
with discontinuous constituents, and dependency annotation.
