Large Corpora and Annotation Standards
http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~ide/ANLP-NAACL2000.html
Held in conjunction with ANLP/NAACL'00
Applied NaturalLanguage Processing and the
North American Chapter of the Association
for Computational Linguistics
Seattle, Washington
4 May 2000 1-6pm
This meeting is intended to bring together researchers and
developers from a variety of domains in text, speech,
video, etc., to look broadly at the technical issues that
bear on the development of software systems and standards
for the annotation and exploitation of linguistic
resources. The goal is to lay the groundwork for the
definition of a data and system architecture to support
corpus annotation and exploitation that can be widely
adopted within the community.
Among the issues to be addressed are:
- layered data architectures
- system architectures for distributed databases
- support for plurality of annotation schemes
- impact and use of XML/XSL
- support for multimedia, including speech and video
- tools for creation, annotation, query and access
- of corpora
- mechanisms for linkage of annotation and primary
data
- applicability of semi-structured data models,
- search and query systems, etc.
- evaluation/validation of systems and annotations
The motivation for this meeting is the American National
Corpus (ANC) effort, which should begin corpus creation
within the year. We anticipate that the ANC will provide a
significant resource for natural language processing, and
we therefore seek to identify state-of-the-art methods for
its creation, annotation, and exploitation. Also, as a
national and freely available resource, the data and
system architecture of the ANC is likely to become a de
facto standard. We therefore hope to draw together leading
researchers and developers to establish a basis for the
design of a system to support the creation and use of the
ANC.
