Detailed Instructions: In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and a question separated with a
. You have to answer the question based on the context.
Problem:We follow the same scheme as BIBREF47 to annotate the MT outputs with coreference chains. This scheme allows the annotator to define each markable as a certain mention type (pronoun, NP, VP or clause). The mentions can be defined further in terms of their cohesive function (antecedent, anaphoric, cataphoric, comparative, substitution, ellipsis, apposition). Antecedents can either be marked as simple or split or as entity or event. The annotation scheme also includes pronoun type (personal, possessive, demonstrative, reflexive, relative) and modifier types of NPs (possessive, demonstrative, definite article, or none for proper names), see BIBREF46 for details. The mentions referring to the same discourse item are linked between each other. We use the annotation tool MMAX2 BIBREF48 which was also used for the annotation of ParCorFull. In the next step, chain members are annotated for their correctness. For the incorrect translations of mentions, we include the following error categories: gender, number, case, ambiguous and other. The latter category is open, which means that the annotators can add their own error types during the annotation process. With this, the final typology of errors also considered wrong named entity, wrong word, missing word, wrong syntactic structure, spelling error and addressee reference.
Question: How are the (possibly incorrect) coreference chains in the MT outputs annotated?
Solution:
allows the annotator to define each markable as a certain mention type (pronoun, NP, VP or clause) The mentions referring to the same discourse item are linked between each other. chain members are annotated for their correctness
