Phrase Detectives Corpus

<h3>Introduction</h3><br>
<p>Phrase Detectives Corpus was developed by the <a href="https://www.essex.ac.uk/csee/">School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at the University of Essex</a> and consists of approximately 19,012 words across 40 documents anaphorically-annotated by the <a href="http://anawiki.essex.ac.uk/phrasedetectives/">Phrase Detectives game</a>, an online interactive "game-with-a-purpose" (GWAP) designed to collect data about English anaphoric coreference.</p><br>
<p>GWAPs for creating language resources are growing. In general, they employ non-monetary incentives, such as entertainment, to motivate participation and can be successful for large-scale persistent annotation efforts.</p><br>
<h3>Data</h3><br>
<p>The documents in the corpus are taken from <a href="https://www.wikipedia.org/">Wikipedia</a> articles and from narrative text in <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/">Project Gutenberg</a>. Wikipedia articles and annotation files are presented as XML and Project Gutenberg source files are presented as plain text. All text is encoded as UTF-8. Annotations are comprised of a gold standard version created by multiple experts, as well as a set created by a large non-expert crowd (via the Phase Detectives game).</p><br>
<p>The data was annotated according to a prevalent linguistically-oriented approach for anaphora used in several tasks, including OntoNotes Release 5.0 (<a href="../../../LDC2013T19">LDC2013T19</a>), SemEval-2010 Task 1 Ontonotes English: Coreference Resolution in Multiple Languages (<a href="../../../LDC2011T01">LDC2011T01</a>) and The ARRAU Corpus of Anaphoric Information (<a href="../../../LDC2013T22">LDC2013T22</a>).</p><br>
