Animacy Denoting German Nouns: Annotation and Classification
Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2022)
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a gold standard for animacy detection comprising almost 14,500 German nouns that might be used to denote either animate entities or non-animate entities. We present inter-annotator agreement of our crowd-sourced seed annotations (9,000 nouns) and discuss the results of machine learning models applied to this data.
