The GUM Corpus - Public Survey
Georgetown University Multilayer Corpus
The Corpling Lab at Georgetown University would like your
participation in this survey (https://forms.gle/SQkfN8MTHNXo32Z3A) to
help us better understand GUM usage and preferences regarding current
and potential new genres in the GUM corpus, which would be of great
help for our future selection of genres and availability of formats
and annotation layers.
Survey Link: https://forms.gle/SQkfN8MTHNXo32Z3A
GUM is an open source corpus of richly annotated English texts from
multiple genres: academic, bio, fiction, interview, news, travel,
how-to, Reddit forum discussions, conversations, political speeches,
CC vlogs, textbooks, podcasts, letters, L1 essays, and oral court
arguments. The corpus is created by students as part of the
Computational Linguistics curriculum at Georgetown University and is
available under Creative Commons licenses. As of now, the GUM Corpus
has released 12 series containing over 291K tokens annotated for
multiple layers. For more information and to search or download the
corpus online, see: https://gucorpling.org/gum/
We value your opinions and appreciate your participation and help! For
full consideration, please respond to the survey by the end of July.
Our lab will be attending the ACL 2026 main conference, CODI-CRAC, and
LAW XX in San Diego, so please feel free to come talk to us if you are
in attendance as well!
