ANALYSIS (IAN)

• The manual translated version of the 500 sentences of the reference corpus (corpus_LID.txt)
• The analysis dictionary used to analyze those 500 sentences (ana_dic_LID.txt)
• The analysis grammar used to analyze those 500 sentences (ana_gra_LID.txt)
• The analysis disambiguation grammar, if any, used to analyze those 500 sentences (ana_dis_LID.txt)
• The UNL output for those 500 sentences generated from the dictionary and grammars above (ana_out_LID.txt)

GENERATION (EUGENE)

• The generation dictionary used to generate the reference corpus onto natural language (gen_dic_LID.txt)
• The generation grammar, including inflectional paradigms, used to generate the reference corpus onto natural language (gen_gra_LID.txt)
• The generation disambiguation grammar, if any, used to generate the reference corpus onto natural language (gen_dis_LID.txt)
• The natural language output generated from the dictionary and grammars above (gen_out_LID.txt)

LID is to be replaced by the ISO639-2 two-character code of the language (en = English, el = Greek, etc.). Accordingly, the Greek corpus is to be provided as corpus_el.txt; the Greek analysis dictionary, as ana_dic_el.txt; and so on. All the files must be shared with "martins" in EUGENE and IAN.
