Some issues in the data

[Emre Can Açıkgöz]

Dear Organizers,

Our team is working on systems for the Shared Task and we have encountered some issues with the data.

• The first issue is related to Russian data. It seems that there are a number of samples (examples are from the dev set) that are ungrammatical or meaningless. For example:

                  (ungrammatical)

                  блокировать; IND;PRS;NOM(3,SG,FEM);ACC(3,SG,MASC);DAT(3,SG,NEUT);INS(3,SG,MASC);

                  она блокирует его ему ему.

                  or

                  (meaningless)

                  блокировать;    IND;PRS;NOM(3,SG,MASC);NEG;Q;ACC(2,PL);AT+ABL(2,SG);INS(3,SG,MASC);

                  не блокирует ли он вас от тебя ему?

• The second issue is about the evaluation of model outputs for languages with relatively free word order like Turkish or Russian.

                  For example in Russian:


                  блокировать;    IND;PST;NOM(1,SG,NEUT);Q;ACC(3,SG,MASC);AT+ABL(3,PL);INS(RFLX)    


                  could be both:

                  блокировало ли я его от них собой?

                  and

                  блокировало ли я его собой от них?    


                  or for Turkish:

                  Türkçeleştirmek;

                  INFR;PST;PRSP;NOM(2,PL);NEG;Q;ACC(1,PL)    


                  could be both:

                  bizi Türkçeleştirmiş olmayacak mıydınız?

                  and

                  Türkçeleştirmiş olmayacak mıydınız bizi?

How would these results be evaluated? We would appreciate your clarifications.

Thank you,

Hi,

Thanks for letting us know about these issues.

Consulting with our Russian and Turkish annotators, it seems like there was indeed a problem in generating the Russian data. Specifically, incorrect pronouns were used whenever there was a need for pronouns in the instrumental case. We are correcting the the problem and we'll upload a corrected version of the Russian data in the upcoming days.

Regarding the second issue of alternative word order, this year's task is limited in scope to a single word order that was judged as canonical by our annotators. This order is supposed to be uniformly applied to all examples, so that's the order the systems should output.

Thanks again,
