Description

The Assamese-AiW treebank is a manually annotated corpus in Assamese (Assamese script). Assamese is an Indo-Aryan language written in the Assamese script, from Left-to-Right. Word order is Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) with relatively free constituent order.

This treebank consists of total 73 sentences, of which 53 sentences are taken from the first chapter of the novel “অজান দেশত এলিচ” which is originally written by Lewis Caroll as “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, and 20 sentences from a news article containing a discourse on the guidelines issued by the admininstration on how to celebrate Durga Puja. The data has been annotated according to Universal Dependencies guidelines.

The corpus is split contiguously into training, development, and test sets as follows:

Split Number of sentences
Train 37 (AiW) + 14 (discourse)
Dev 10 (AiW) + 4 (discourse)
Test 6 (AiW) + 2 (discourse)

Annotations follows the Universal Dependencies v2 guidelines for tokenization, part-of-speech tags, and dependency relations.

Data was collected manually from the first chapter of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Assamese translation, অজান দেশত এলিচ) and from the news article on the prestigious e-news paper Asomiya Pratidin
