Towards a Dependency-based PropBank of General Finnish

Katri Haverinen, Veronika Laippala, Samuel Kohonen, Anna Missilä, Jenna Nyblom, Stina Ojala, Timo Viljanen, Tapio Salakoski, Filip Ginter, Towards a Dependency-based PropBank of General Finnish. In: Stephan Oepen, Kristin Hagen, Janne Bondi Johannesse (Eds.), Proceedings of the 19th Nordic Conference of Computational Linguistics (NODALIDA 2013), NEALT Proceedings Series 16, 41–57, Linköping University Electronic Press, 2013.

Abstract:

In this work, we present the first results of a project aiming at a Finnish Proposition Bank, an annotated corpus of semantic roles. The annotation is based on an existing treebank of Finnish, the Turku Dependency Treebank, annotated using the well-known Stanford Dependency scheme. We describe the use of the dependency treebank for PropBanking purposes and show that both annotation layers present in the treebank are highly useful for the annotation of semantic roles. We also discuss the specific features of Finnish influencing the development of a PropBank as well as the methods employed in the annotation, and finally, we present preliminary evaluation of the annotation quality.
