ANTILLES : An Open French Linguistically Enriched Part-of-Speech Corpus

Dataset Summary

ANTILLES is a part-of-speech tagging corpora based on UD_French-GSD which was originally created in 2015 and is based on the universal dependency treebank v2.0.

Originally, the corpora consists of 400,399 words (16,341 sentences) and had 17 different classes. Now, after applying our tags augmentation script transform.py, we obtain 60 different classes which add semantic information such as: the gender, number, mood, person, tense or verb form given in the different CoNLL-U fields from the original corpora.

We based our tags on the level of details given by the LIA_TAGG statistical POS tagger written by Frédéric Béchet in 2001.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

part-of-speech-tagging: The dataset can be used to train a model for part-of-speech-tagging. The performance is measured by how high its F1 score is. A Flair Sequence-To-Sequence model trained to tag tokens from Wikipedia passages achieves a F1 score (micro) of 0.952.

Languages

The text in the dataset is in French, as spoken by Wikipedia users. The associated BCP-47 code is fr.

Discussion of Biases

The nature of the corpora introduce various biases such as the names of the streets which are temporaly based and can therefore introduce named entity like author or event names. For example, street names such as Rue Victor-Hugo or Rue Pasteur doesn't exist before the 20's century in France.
