RUI: CRI: CI-ADDO-EN: Collaborative Research: MASC: A Community Resource For and By the People

手动标注子语料库（MASC）是一个共享语料库，支持多个学科的研究：语言学、计算语言学、心理语言学、社会语言学和机器学习。它包括各种各样的现代美国英语文本注释了几种语言现象。由于MASC提供了独特的资源，因此围绕它形成了相当大的社区势头。这个项目建立在这个势头之上，使语料库能够自己增长，并解决对额外注释的需求。主要活动是：(1)提供基于网络的机制，以促进社区贡献和使用MASC注释；(2)开发更全面自动化注释验证过程的手段；(3)将WordNet注释扩展到形容词，支持“主观”评价的研究。WordNet与其他资源的注释和协调；(3)通过赞助利用语料库的共享任务，促进不同群体使用MASC和新注释？独特的特性和支持beta测试软件，数据和注释；(4)积极发展？开放语言数据？通过研讨会、教程和积极参与相关的社区活动。MASC为自然语言处理工具的培训和测试提供了无与伦比的资源，这可以使NLP研究的生产力实现重大飞跃，并最终影响人们使用和与计算机交互的方式。这是该领域第一个完全开放、社区驱动的资源。所有数据和注释都以一种允许全球用户立即和轻松访问的方式免费分发。

The Manually Annotated Sub-Corpus (MASC) is a shared corpus that supports research acrossseveral disciplines: linguistics, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics andmachine learning. It includes a wide variety of present-day American English texts annotated forseveral linguistic phenomena. Because MASC provides a unique resource, considerablecommunity momentum has grown up around it. This project builds upon this momentum toenable the corpus to grow on its own, and to address the need for additional annotations. Themajor activities are to : (1) provide web-based mechanisms to facilitate community contributionand use of MASC annotations; (2) develop means to more fully automate the annotationvalidation process; (3) extend the WordNet annotations to cover adjectives, to support researchon evaluation of ?subjective? annotations and harmonization of WordNet with other resources;(3) promote use of MASC and new annotations by diverse groups, by sponsoring shared tasksthat exploit the corpus? unique characteristics and supporting beta-testers of software, data, andannotations; and (4) aggressively develop an ?Open Language Data? community around MASCthrough workshops, tutorials, and active participation in relevant community activities.MASC provides an unparalleled resource for training and testing of tools for natural languageprocessing, which can enable a major leap in the productivity of NLP research and ultimatelyimpact the way people use and interact with computers. It is the first fully open, communitydrivenresource in the field. All data and annotations are freely distributed in a manner thatpermits immediate and easy accessibility for users around the globe.
