Description

The UD Kazakh treebank is a combination of text from various sources including Wikipedia, some folk tales, sentences from the UDHR, news and phrasebook sentences. Sentences IDs include partial document identifiers.

The tokenisation in the Kazakh UD treebank follows the principles of Turkic lexica in Apertium. Morphological processing in the Kazakh UD treebank follows the principles of Turkic lexica in Apertium. The file designated as “train” is just a small sample to show how the data looks like to shared task participants. The treebank is too small to provide for a standard training-development-test split. Instead, users are advised to merge both files, then jack-knife and report results of ten-fold cross-validation.
