UCCA-Annotated Wall Street Journal Sentences

Version 2.0 (April 8, 2019)

This bundle contains 100 sentences annotated according to the foundational layer of UCCA. The sentences are from section 00 of the Wall Street Journal corpus. The passages are given as XMLs. The total number of tokens in this corpus is 2273.

All text tokens in the files have been replaced with underscores for licensing reasons. Replace them back to the original WSJ text to obtain the full annotation: after obtaining a directory (WSJ_DIR) containing PTB .mrg files organized by section (00, 02 etc.), run:

scripts/insert_tokens.sh WSJ_DIR

The dataset is a part of the UCCA project developed in the NLP lab of the Hebrew University by Omri Abend and Ari Rappoport. The users of this dataset are kindly requested to cite the following publication:
