The service demonstrates a natural language processing pipeline for English and Italian that produces syntactic and semantic analyses for narrative texts. It was developed in the scope of the TERENCE project (An adaptive learning system for reasoning about stories with poor comprehenders and their educators, FP7-ICT-2009-5; Grant Num: 25410) and further extended during the MUSE project (Machine Understanding for interactive StorytElling - EU FP7-296703 FET - open call). In detail, the following semantic annotations are provided:
- sentence boundaries, tokenization;
- temporal events, temporal expressions;
- event participant roles;
- temporal relations as a single temporal dependency structure;
- co-referential relations;
- semantic roles (only for English);
- causal relations.
Semantic annotations are provided in an XML-format file with respect to the annotation format described in the State-of-the-Art and Design of Novel Annotation Languages and Technologies document.
The service was developed by Oleksandr Kolomiyets, Jan de Belder and Quynh Do. Natural language processing for Italian was implemented by Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
