Questions, comments? General annotation questions (either Slovenian-specific or cross-linguistic) can be raised in the main UD issue tracker. You can report bugs in this treebank in the treebank-specific issue tracker on Github. If you want to collaborate, please contact [kaja • dobrovoljc (æt) ijs • si]. Development of the treebank happens outside the UD repository. If there are bugs, either the original data source or the conversion procedure must be fixed.

Description

The SSJ treebank is the reference UD treebank for Slovenian, consisting of approximately 13,000 sentences and 267,097 tokens from fiction, non-fiction, periodical and Wikipedia texts in standard modern Slovenian. As of UD release 2.10 in May 2022, the original version of the SSJ UD treebank has been partially manually revised and extended with new manually annotated data.

The original Slovenian SSJ UD Treebank, first released as part of UD v1.2 in 2015 (Dobrovoljc et al. 2017), was created through a fine-grained rule-based conversion of the ssj500k treebank (Krek et al. 2021), the largest collection of manually syntactically annotated data in Slovenian, originally annotated in the JOS annotation scheme (Erjavec et al. 2010). With the exception of the manual disambiguation of the AUX and VERB occurrences of the verb ‘biti’ (to be), the conversion was fully automatic, based on a set of rules for both morphosyntactic and syntactic layer, which include different lexical, morphological and dependency features, while the original ssj500k tokenization and lemmatization principles remained unchanged. The rules and conversion scripts are available at https://github.com/clarinsi/jos2ud.

In 2022, the original SSJ UD treebank was partially manually revised to correct the previously identified annotation inconsistencies, and implement the newly introduced changes in the annotation guidelines. In addition, the treebank was substantially extended to almost double the original size, with new manually annotated sentences coming from the previously unreleased subset of the ssj500k corpus, and the Slovenian subset of the ELEXIS parallel sense-annotated corpus of Wikipedia texts (Martelli et al. 2021). Despite the extension, the data split remained unchanged with the original SSJ sentences being preserved as part of the same train-dev-test subset. More details on the latest SSJ UD version are given in Dobrovoljc and Ljubešić (2022).
