Guidelines

[martins]

Dear All,

We have concluded the first phase of the IV UNL Olympiad, which
consisted in providing our reference corpus. The results, for each
language, can be exported from UNLWEB>UNLARIUM>CORPUS>AESOP-A1>EXPORT.


The second phase of the IV Olympiad consists in an open discussion of
the results above. We would ask all the people interested in
participating in the Olympiad to check the results and report any
problems (typos, non-standard use of the language, incomplete
generations, wrong mappings, missing possible sentences, etc.). It is
important to remember that this corpus will be used as the reference
for the IV Olympiad, i.e., the participants will have to analyze the
corresponding natural language sentences into UNL, and generate UNL
out of the natural language sentences.


The problems must be reported at the forum "Olympiad". The posts can
be published directly in the forum or sent to olympiad@unlweb.net.
Users interested in following the discussions by e-mail must join the
forum mailing list.


In order to organize the discussion, we would ask the participants to
follow the guidelines below:


a) to use, as the subject of the message/post, the three-character ISO
code of the language followed a colon and the graph ID (for instance,
fra:389662 will be the subject of the post corresponding to the
problems found in the NLization, to French, of the graph 389662). The
graph ID is the six-digit number that can be found after S: in the UNL
file available for each language.


b) to have one single thread per sentence ID per language (i.e., all
the problems related to the NLization of the same UNL graph in a given
language must be reported in the same post); and any replies to the
problem must be reported in the same thread. So, before creating a new
post, check whether the forum already contains a thread for a given
graph ID.


c) in case of generic problems for a given language (missing
sentences, for instance), the posts should contain only the language
code (i.e., fra for generic problems concerning the French NLization).


The forum will be opened for discussion until September 30th. After
this date, it will be closed and we will evaluate the problems and, if
necessary, make the corresponding changes. The official corpus will be
released on October 7th, when the competition will begin.

Best regards,


Ronaldo.
