Annotation Guidelines of Semantic Roles for Semantic Dependency Graph Bank

Abstract

During the process of annotating the corpus of Semantic Dependency Graph, we found that each semantic role contains tinier semantic characters which are easy for annotators to tag them in different ways. So we set a whole set of annotation guidelines to keep the annotation process objective and identical. There are 3 types of guidelines: paradigmatic relations, syntagmatic relations and semantic features. From the annotation guidelines of subject roles, object roles and some groups of circumstanced roles, a more scientific annotation system was gradually founded, and so that we can make the manual annotation less confused. By means of this, we can make a high-quality corpus and make the computer understand nature language better.
