01-30-2004 Notes
Notes from 1-30-04 phone call Meetings

1. Adjust annotation schedule:

ACTION ITEMS: Owen will bless one text: J1E1 or A1E1. Annotators and researchers will start it next week. Ed will revise the schedule.

2. Time for annotator conference calls:
Couldn't find a time when everyone could make it on Thursday. Ask annotators for their whole week schedules in order to find another day.

ACTION ITEMS: Each site will get a schedule from their annotators, combine them, and send them to Steve.

3. Annotation procedure and implications for the tool:
Multiple semantic roles or one semantic role: If you assign multiple concepts, do you also assign multiple roles or just one?

Advaith: VerbNet groups WordNet senses into groups, and has theta roles for each group. If the senses are related, the theta roles should approximately the same.

DECISION: The annotator can decide whether the senses s/he chose are related or not. If not related, assign different roles.

  1. Put only one role: this implies that it goes with every concept that was assigned.
  2. Put one role for each concept.

4. Use TRED and other tools? Confusing or useful?

DECISION: Looking TRED is ok. Making changes with TRED is bad.

5. Fixes to tools.
WordNet and Microcosmos choices. ACTION ITEM: Ed will talk to Lei.

6. Nizar: Checklist for fixing IL0 posted in the annotation manual,
creating IL0.

7. NSF Nuggets:

8. Paper and proposal status:

Steve talked to Mary Harper this morning. Mary says that the same proposal can be submitted to each place.

Mary's advice: compelling, rich, don't pull punches.

White paper has not been sent to Boyan yet. It has to be sent right away because the RFP will come out soon, and then Boyan can't talk to anyone.

ACTION ITEM: Bonnie will send Steve the draft. Steve will fix it up and send it today to Boyan, Mary, and Kathi.

9. Paper status:
Flo submitted a new version of the article on the extended deadline.

10. Date of our next meeting:
DECISION: April 2 and 3. End in time to fly back Saturday evening.
