Improving Crowdsourcing-Based Annotation of Japanese Discourse Relations (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Discourse parsing is an important task in natural language processing, but few languages have corpora annotated with discourse relations . crowdsourcing-based annotations are of poor quality and require expensive and time-consuming . et al. (2009) evaluated the quality of annotations using expert annotations. |
| Approach: | They construct a Japanese corpus with discourse annotations through crowdsourcing . they propose improvement techniques based on language tests . |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods improve the quality of the annotations, and will make them publicly available. |

A Streamlined Method for Sourcing Discourse-level Argumentation Annotations from the Crowd (N19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for analyzing discourse-level argument annotations require expensive labor and data. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that breaks down a popular but complex discourse-level argument annotation scheme into a simple iterative procedure that can be applied even by untrained annotators. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can be applied even by untrained annotators. |
Design Choices in Crowdsourcing Discourse Relation Annotations: The Effect of Worker Selection and Training (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent methods have obtained promising results by extracting relation labels from participants . obtaining linguistic annotations from novice crowdworkers is difficult . crowdsourcing allows for fast and cost-effective collection of labelled data, but because tasks need to be intuitive, crowdworker cannot be asked to perform them. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a selection-only approach to obtain linguistic annotations from novices . current study shows that the method is cost- and time-intensive . |
| Outcome: | The current study shows that selection and training improves the agreement between workers and gold labels, but the method is cost- and time-intensive. |
