    Bug Reports

    During the ACE Pilot Study, NIST will attempt to resolve obvious errors in the annotation of the data. The following table summarizes the list of bug reports and actions taken.

    DATE SITE FILE Description Action taken
    3/29/2000 BBN Multiple Training Files Instances of "Europe(an) and Asia(n)" were originally marked as GSPs. After reviewing section 6.2.4 of the task definition, BBN changed them to LOC. BBN will submit these fixes with their next batch of data, NIST will make them available as part of the complete training set distribution on Monday April 10th.
    4/24/2000 BBN Multiple DevTest Files In raising the question regarding examples like "southern France", the answer was that "southern France" should be a single LOC name mention. The following files were originally marked with a nested GSP name mention (for "France"):
  • APW19980306.1567.sgm.apf.xml France, Europe
  • APW19980308.0201.sgm.apf.xml Istanbul
  • APW19980322.0749.sgm.apf.xml Belfast (two instances)
  • APW19980328.0684.sgm.apf.xml Iraq
  • CNN19980310.1600.0080.sgm.apf.xml Georgia, Indiana, Illinois
  • CNN19980321.1000.0081.sgm.apf.xml Georgia, United States
  • The following file fixed "in" being incorrectly included in the span:
  • 9803.107.sgm.apf.xml [in] strongholds of the Kosovo Liberation Army
