Iterative collaborative annotation system

Abstract: A collaborative annotation system for facilitating annotations, such as commentaries, of time-based media, such as video, by users is disclosed. The system involves displaying and controlling the display of a time-based medium, and receiving and storing input for defining a location in the time-based medium. The system also involves receiving and storing an annotation relating to the context of the location, and performing and storing a valuation relating to the annotation.

MEANTIME, the NewsReader Multilingual Event and Time Corpus

Abstract: In this paper, we present the NewsReader MEANTIME corpus, a semantically annotated corpus of Wikinews articles. The corpus consists of 480 news articles, i.e. 120 English news articles and their translations in Spanish, Italian, and Dutch. MEANTIME contains annotations at different levels. The document-level annotation includes markables (e.g. entity mentions, event mentions, time expressions, and numerical expressions), relations between markables (modeling, for example, temporal information and semantic role labeling), and entity and event intra-document coreference. The corpus-level annotation includes entity and event cross-document coreference. Semantic annotation on the English section was performed manually; for the annotation in Italian, Spanish, and (partially) Dutch, a procedure was devised to automatically project the annotations on the English texts onto the translated texts, based on the manual alignment of the annotated elements; this enabled us not only to speed up the annotation process but also provided cross-lingual coreference. The English section of the corpus was extended with timeline annotations for the SemEval 2015 TimeLine shared task. The First CLIN Dutch Shared Task at CLIN26 was based on the Dutch section, while the EVALITA 2016 FactA (Event Factuality Annotation) shared task, based on the Italian section, is currently being organized

Annotating and sharing content

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to annotating and sharing content. In aspects, an annotation tool presents a user interface that allows a user to enter and view annotations associated with content such as a video. The annotation tool allows the user to associate each annotation with a particular time segment of the video such that when that time segment is played in a video player, its associated annotation is presented. The annotation tool also presents a user interface that allows the user to share the video as annotated with other users as desired. Other users receiving the annotated video may further annotate the video and share it with others.

Towards a Universal Grammar for Natural Language Processing

Abstract: Universal Dependencies is a recent initiative to develop cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages, with the goal of facilitating multilingual parser development, cross-lingual learning, and parsing research from a language typology perspective. In this paper, I outline the motivation behind the initiative and explain how the basic design principles follow from these requirements. I then discuss the different components of the annotation standard, including principles for word segmentation, morphological annotation, and syntactic annotation. I conclude with some thoughts on the challenges that lie ahead.

Method and system for providing annotations of a digital work

Abstract: Methods and systems for receiving and distributing annotations of a digital work (84) include receiving an annotation of the digital work (84), storing the annotation, and providing the annotation to the user. The user may be required to submit a valid authorization credential (90) for the annotation. Annotations may be textual or graphical, and may be associated with particular content in a digital work. Indicators may be displayed to identify content in the digital work for which annotations are available. A user may exchange compensation or perform a specified action for access to an annotation. Some or all of the compensation received for an annotation may be distributed to the author of the annotation. Multiple annotations may be listed in an order based a criterion, such as ranking, price, or date of receipt. Users that purchase a digital work may automatically receive an authorization credential (90)to receive annotations of the digital work.
