A demonstration of human computation using the Phrase Detectives annotation game

Published:28 June 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

The goal of the ANAWIKI project is to experiment with Web collaboration and human computation to create largescale linguistically annotated corpora. We will present ongoing work and initial results of Phrase Detectives, a game designed to collect judgments about anaphoric annotations.
