Abstract
A document corpus is annotated by given annotators and aggregates of the given annotators to generate a corpus of pre-annotated documents with given annotations. The same document corpus is annotated by a subject annotator to have subject annotations. The subject annotations are decomposed into superpositions of the given annotations. The decomposed subject annotations are mapped to a most representative superposition of the given annotations. The subject annotator may be mapped to the aggregate of given annotators corresponding to the most representative superposition.
Claims18
A method for mapping an annotator to an aggregate of annotators from a given collection of annotators:
- providing a plurality of given annotators;
- providing a subject annotator;
- identifying whether the subject annotator is functionally equivalent to an aggregate of annotators from among said plurality of annotators, said identifying including identifying the functionally equivalent aggregate;
- and
- mapping the subject annotator to said identified functionally equivalent aggregate.
A system for mapping an annotator to an aggregate of annotators from a collection of given annotators, comprising:
- a machine-readable storage medium;
- machine-readable program code, stored on the machine-readable storage medium, the machine-readable program code having:
- instructions for carrying out a plurality of given annotators;
- instructions for carrying out a subject annotator;
- instructions for identifying whether the subject annotator is functionally equivalent to an aggregate of annotators from among said plurality of annotators, said identifying including identifying a functionally equivalent aggregate;
- and
- instructions for carrying out, if such a functionally equivalent aggregate is identified, mapping this annotator to said functionally equivalent aggregate.
