Verbal-MWE-annotations

We provide users with annotations of verbal multiword expressions (VMWEs) on English Ontonotes. Regarding methods we exploit for annotations, please refer to [1].

VMWE annotations (vmwe_indices.txt)

Indices of components of VMWEs in sentences.

2 tab-separated columns:

1. MWE (e.g., "break silence")
2. Instance_id (e.g., wsj_1279_1:12_17)

• A format of instance id is [filename]_[sentence_id]:[token_indices].
  • Filename (e.g., wsj_1279)
  • Sentence ID (0-origin)
  • Token indices of components of a VMWE (1-origin)

Dependency (ontonotes_wsj_00_24_masked.conll)

• Stanford dependencies [2] of the Wall Street Journal portion of Ontonotes Release 5.0 (LDC2013T19).

Conll Format
