The project CORNELIA (CORpus for Natural languagE to UNL Inductive Analysis) is devoted to the creation of resources (LSS, SSS, UNL) for inducing grammars for UNLization.

Contents

Goal

The project CORNELIA has three main goals:

  1. To provide Linear Sentence Structures (LSS) to be used in natural language disambiguation;
  2. To provide Syntactic Sentence Structures (SSS) to be used in natural language transformation;
  3. To provide NL-UNL memories, to be used in UNLization.

Repository

CORNELIA is language dependent. Every language has its own set of entries to be addressed. The list of entries is extracted from the Wikipedia and is organized as follows:

Subproject # of entries Description
CORNELIA-A1 1,000 simple noun phrases
CORNELIA-A2 1,000 simple verbal phrases
CORNELIA-B1 1,000 complex noun phrases
CORNELIA-B2 1,000 complex verbal phrases
CORNELIA-C1 1,000 short sentences (< average sentence length)
CORNELIA-C2 1,000 long sentences (> average sentence length)

Requisites

CORNELIA is open to all languages, according to the following requisites:

  • CORNELIA-A1 is required for CORNELIA-A2;
  • CORNELIA-A2 is required for CORNELIA-B1;
  • CORNELIA-B1 is required for CORNELIA-B2;
  • CORNELIA-B2 is required for CORNELIA-C1;
  • CORNELIA-C1 is required for CORNELIA-C2;

Instructions

  1. Compilation
    • CORNELIA-A1: SIMPLE NP's
      • Original corpus: 5-10 original articles from the Wikipedia about culture-specific subjects (minimum of 5,000 words), in separate files, in plain text format with UTF-8 encoding
      • List of at least 1,000 noun phrases appearing in the corpus with the following characteristics:
        • the length of the NP must be equal or greater than 2 words (one-word NP's must be excluded): Geneva
        • NP's must not contain foreign words: the city of Genève[1]
        • NP's must be continuous (there cannot be any extra-content, e.g., parentheses, inside the NP): the second most populous city in Switzerland (after Zurich)[2]
        • NP's must not contain verbs, even when used as nouns, adjectives or adverbs: French-speaking part of Switzerland, numerous international organizations, including the headquarters of many of the agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross[3]
        • NP's must be original (no change should be made to the original text from the Wikipedia)
        • NP's must ignore nesting (only the longest NP must be considered): "the headquarters of many of the agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross" must be treated as a single NP[4]
        • NP's must be unique (repetitions must be ignored)
        • NP's must be provided one per line in a plain text file, with UTF-8 encoding.

Notes

  1. Note that "the city of Geneva" is OK.
  2. Note that the NP's will be "the second most populous city in Switzerland" and "Zurich".
  3. In the latter case, there will be 2 NP's: "numerous international organizations" and "the headquarters... Red Cross".
  4. Inner NP's, such as "the agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross", must not be extracted from the longer NP.
