Introduction to Frontiers in Corpus Annotation II: Pie in the Sky

Adam Meyers

Abstract: The Frontiers in Corpus Annotation workshops are opportunities to discuss the state of the art of corpus annotation in computational linguistics. Corpus annotation has pushed the enitre field in new directions by providing new task definitions and new standards of analysis. At the first Frontiers in Corpus Annotation workshop at HLT-NAACL 2004 we compared assumptions underlying different annotation projects in light of both multilingual applications and the pursuit of merged representations that incorporate the result of various annotation projects.
