ERG Treebanks: summary about data

[olzama]

I suggest that we expand the section about the datasets that constitue the ERG treebanks: https://github.com/delph-in/docs/wiki/RedwoodsTop

Currently, the wiki page refers the reader to Flickinger 2011 but that work is not easily available online (I don't think?) Furthermore, even if one has it, it is still not fully obvious how to map the datasets described there to the files in the ERG release (for some, it is obvious, for others, it is not).

[olzama]

Here's the list of the files in the current release. I filled out the mapping where I could make them, but some things I cannot map to something described in Flickinger 2011 easily:

csli	Constructed
ccs	Constructed
control	Constructed
esd	Constructed
fracas	Constructed
handp12	Handpicked? From where?
mrs	Constructed
pest	???
sh-spec	Sherlock Holmes
sh-spec-r	Sherlock Holmes

ws*	Wikipedia
wlb03	???

wsj*	Wall Street Journal

Can anyone help complete this table?

The OMW means Open Multilingual Wordnet. This is a sample of 2000 sentences from synset English definitions from @fcbond 's OMW (http://compling.hss.ntu.edu.sg/omw/). As far as I know, this is mostly the Princeton Wordnet 3.0 with small fixes.

[arademaker]

I agree that we do need this documentation in the wiki. BTW, not always clear that WSJ is also part of Ontonotes and Propbank dataset (see propbank/propbank-release#14).

Is ws* all the https://github.com/delph-in/docs/wiki/WikiWoods? What does the star mean?

This just means, all corpora that start with "ws".

Thank you, @oepen !

Here's the same table updated with the info from index.lisp. For some items, I am still missing an adequate description though...

csli	"CSLI testsuite"	Constructed examples	is there a citation?..	and what exactly does it mean?..
ccs	"Collab Compuational Semantics"	Constructed examples	citation?	and I don't know what this means either...
control	"Control examples from literature"	Constructed examples	clear enough I guess	though some provenance would be nice
esd	"ERG Semantic Documentation Test Suite"	Constructed		https://github.com/delph-in/docs/wiki/ErgSemantics
fracas	"FraCaS Semantics Test Suite"	textual inference problem set?	Cooper et al. 1996	https://gu-clasp.github.io/multifracas/D16.pdf

CSLI is a rebranding of the legendary HP test suite:

Many thanks, @oepen . Let me know if you think that this table could go directly into the wiki e.g. into RedwoodsTop.

What about adding some extra information about the size of each treebank? I am particularly interested to know how many sentences we have with golden MRS. Does anyone have this number? Is there any other ERG golden analyzed treebank besides the data inside the ERG repository under tsdb/gold?

In the tsdb/gold we have 131,401 sentences:

% for f in find . -type f -name item.gz; do echo $f, gzcat $f | wc -l; done | awk 'BEGIN {s=0} {s = s + $2} END{ print s}'
131401

Two profiles are 'virtual'. The wescience and redwoods. But redwoods mention profiles that do not exist in the tsdb/gold folder:

1. Instead of "jh0", "jh1", "jh2", "jh3", "jh4" and "jh5" we have only the profiles "jh", "jhk" and "jku"
2. Instead of "tg1" and "tg2" we have "tg", "tgk" and "tgu"
3. Instead of "sc01", "sc02" and "sc03" we have only "scm"

Questions:

1. Should we update the profile redwoods, that is, the list in the virtual file?
2. The last AMR dataset contains 59,255 sentences. As far as I understood from https://amr.isi.edu/download.html and https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2020T02, this AMR 3.0 contains AMR 2.0 and AMR 1.0, so AMR data is ~45% of the size of MRS data, am I right?

[arademaker]

@oepen, the CCS event is the precursor of http://mrp.nlpl.eu/2020/index.php?page=14#companion? If so, what is the origin of the EDS data on MRP datasets?

Finally, there are sentences duplicated in the profiles:

% for f in */item.gz; do gzcat $f | awk -F "@" '{print $7}' >> sentences; done
% sort sentences| sort | uniq | wc -l
  105820

some examples:

% sort sentences| sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20

Alex, the redwoods.xlsx file (which you can find in the release) has the sentence numbers!
