Dependency-Based PropBanking of Clinical Finnish

Katri Haverinen, Filip Ginter, Timo Viljanen, Veronika Laippala, Tapio Salakoski, Dependency-Based PropBanking of Clinical Finnish. In: Proceedings of the Fourth Linguistic Annotation Workshop, 137-141, ACL, 2010.

Abstract:

In this paper, we present a PropBank of clinical Finnish, an annotated
corpus of verbal propositions and arguments. The clinical PropBank is
created on top of a previously existing dependency treebank annotated
in the Stanford Dependency (SD) scheme and
covers 90% of all verb occurrences in the treebank.

We establish that the PropBank scheme is applicable to clinical
Finnish as well as compatible with the SD scheme, with an overwhelming
proportion of arguments being governed by the verb. This allows
argument candidates to be restricted to direct verb dependents,
substantially simplifying the PropBank construction.

The clinical Finnish PropBank is freely available at the address
