Pair Annotation as a Novel Annotation Procedure: The Case of Turkish Discourse Bank

Demirşahin, Işın
Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz
In this chapter, we provide an overview of Turkish Discourse Bank, a resource of ∼ 400,000 words built on a sub-corpus of the 2-million-word METU Turkish Corpus annotated following the principles of Penn Discourse Tree Bank. We first present the annotation framework we adopted, explaining how it differs from the annotation of the original language, English. Then we focus on a novel annotation procedure that we have devised and named pair annotation after pair programming. We discuss the advantages it has offered as well as its potential drawbacks.

An Assessment of Explicit Inter- and Intra-sentential Discourse Connectives in Turkish Discourse Bank
Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz (null; 2018-05-07)
The paper offers a quantitative and qualitative analysis of explicit inter- and intra-sentential discourse connectives in Turkish Discourse Bank, or TDB version 1.1, a multi-genre resource of written Turkish manually annotated at the discourse level following the goals and principles of Penn Discourse TreeBank. TDB 1.1 is a 40K-word corpus involving all major discourse relation types (explicit discourse relations at intra- and inter-sentential positions, implicit discourse relations, alternative lexicalizat...
Automatic disambiguation of Turkish discourse connectives based on a Turkish connective lexicon
Başıbüyük, Kezban; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-8-31)
In this thesis, we developed methods for disambiguating the discourse usage and sense of connectives in a given free Turkish text. For this purpose, we firstly built a comprehensive Turkish Connective Lexicon (TCL) including all types of connectives in Turkish together with their syntactic and semantic features. This lexicon is built automatically by using the discourse relation annotations in several discourse annotated corpora developed for Turkish and follows the format of the German connective lexicon, ...
METU Turkish Discourse Bank Browser
Sirin, Utku; Çakıcı, Ruket; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz (2012-05-27)
In this paper, the METU Turkish Discourse Bank Browser, a tool developed for browsing the annotated annotated discourse relations in Middle East Technical University (METU) Turkish Discourse Bank (TDB) project is presented. The tool provides both a clear interface for browsing the annotated corpus and a wide range of search options to analyze the annotations.
