Arabic Treebank: Part 2 v 3.1

<h3>Introduction</h3><br>
<p>Arabic Treebank: Part 2 (ATB2) v 3.1 was developed at the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC). It consists of 501 newswire stories from Ummah Press with part-of-speech (POS), morphology, gloss and syntactic treebank annotation in accordance with the Penn Arabic Treebank (PATB) Guidelines developed in 2008 and 2009. This release represents a significant revision of LDC's previous ATB2 publication: <a href="http://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2004T02" rel="nofollow">Arabic Treebank: Part 2 v 2.0 LDC2004T02</a>.</p><br>
<p>The ongoing PATB project supports research in Arabic-language natural language processing and human language technology development. The methodology and work leading to the release of this publication are described in detail in the documentation accompanying this corpus and in two research papers: <a href="https://www.ldc.upenn.edu/sites/www.ldc.upenn.edu/files/lrec2008-enhancing-arabic-treebank.pdf">Enhancing the Arabic Treebank: A Collaborative Effort toward New Annotation Guidelines </a>and <a href="https://www.ldc.upenn.edu/sites/www.ldc.upenn.edu/files/lrec2010-consistent-flexible-integration.pdf">Consistent and Flexible Integration of Morphological Annotation in the Arabic Treebank</a>.</p><br>
