UD_Uzbek-UT

Treebank card from UD release 2.18: metadata and texts come from UD_Uzbek-UT/README.md; size is counted by streaming the .conllu files and checked against the release stats.xml. Generated by tools/treebanks build; do not edit by hand. Papers: Papers: UD_Uzbek-UT; seeds: seeds/; converter: convert.md.

Annotation layers

UD scale: manual native — annotated by hand directly in UD; converted from manual — converted from manual annotation in another scheme; converted with corrections — converted and partly corrected by hand; automatic with corrections — automatic, with partial manual corrections; automatic — automatic; not available — the layer is absent.

Size

Tokens are surface tokens (Spanish vámonos is one), words are syntactic words (vamos + nos); multiword tokens are those split into several words; empty nodes are the N.M nodes of the enhanced graph. Splits train, dev are absent from the release.

Summary

This is the first Uzbek UD treebank.

Introduction

Uzbek-UT consists of 500 sentences, 250 of which were sourced from news articles and 250 from fiction. These two genres can be told apart with sentence IDs, meaning that the first half of the treebank belongs to news articles and the second half to fiction. Tokenization and lemmatization were carried out automatically. POS tags and dependency relations were annotated semi-automatically with full manual corrections.

    abstract = "We present the first Universal Dependencies treebank for Uzbek, a low-resource language from the Turkic family. The treebank contains 500 sentences (5850 tokens) sourced from the news and fiction genres and it is annotated for lemmas, part-of-speech (POS) tags, morphological features, and dependency relations. We describe our methodology for building the treebank, which consists of a mix of manual and automatic annotation and discuss some constructions of the Uzbek language that pose challenges to the UD framework."
