UCA

The UC-A is an experimental corpus used to prepare the initial versions of the grammar for sentence-based UNLization and NLization, using IAN and EUGENE, respectively. It comprises two subcorpora: UC-A1 and UC-A2.

The corpus

• In one single file (400 sentences):
  • UC-A in English, to be (manually) translated to your target language in order to be used as the input for the UNLization process (with IAN)
  • UC-A in UNL, to be used, "as is" (i.e., without any change), as the input for the NLization process (with EUGENE)
• According to the general distribution:
  • UC-A1 (100 sentences)
  • UC-A2 (300 sentences)

Goals

1. To provide the dictionary and grammars necessary to UNLize your translated version of UC-A (with IAN)
2. To provide the dictionary and grammars necessary to NLize, to your target language, the UNL version of UC-A (with EUGENE)

Methodology

1. Prepare the dictionary and grammars to deal with UC-A1 (follow the instructions available at UC-A1)
2. Prepare the dictionary and grammars to deal with UC-A2 (follow the instructions available at UC-A2)
3. Merge the corresponding resources and make the necessary changes

Assessment

The actual outputs must be evaluated against the expected outputs using the F-Measure, which can be automatically calcuated at UNLWEB>UNLARIUM>GRAMMAR>[LOCALE]>F-MEASURE

• UNLization
  • Actual output: the output provided by IAN, in your language, with the resources that you have provided, for the translated version of UC-A
  • Expected output: UC-A in UNL
• NLization
  • Actual output: the output provided by EUGENE, in your language, with the resources that you have provided, for the input file UC-A in UNL
  • Expected output: the human-translated version of UC-A used as the input for the UNLization
