Issues on Annotation Guidelines for Japanese Predicate-Argument Structures

Abstract

Japanese corpora annotated with predicate-argument structure (PAS) have been constructed as part of several research projects and these annotated corpora have significantly advanced the field of PAS analysis. However, according to an inter-annotator agreement study and qualitative analysis of the existing corpora, there is still a strong need for further improvement of the annotation guidelines of the corpora. To improve the quality of PAS annotation guidelines, we have collected and summarized the practical knowledge and a list of problematic issues concerning the task of the PAS annotation through discussions with researchers actively engaged in the construction of NAIST Text Corpus (NTC) and Kyoto Text Corpus (KTC), researchers concerned

Predicate-Argument Structure Analysis and Zero-Anaphora Resolution for Dialogue Analysis

“…Semantic role labeling (SRL) and predicate-argument structure analysis (PASA) are important analysis techniques for acquiring "who did what to whom" from sentences 1 . These analyses have been applied to written texts because most annotated corpora comprise newspaper articles (Carreras and Màrquez, 2004;Carreras and Màrquez, 2005;Matsubayashi et al, 2014).…”
