Introduction
This file contains documentation for Chinese Treebank 6.0, Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) catalog number LDC2007T36 and isbn 1-58563-450-6.
The Chinese Treebank project began at the University of Pennsylvania in 1998 and continues at Penn and the University of Colorado. Chinese Treebank 6.0 is the latest version produced from this effort, consisting of 780,000 words (over 1.28 million Chinese characters) that are segmented, part-of-speech tagged and fully bracketed. The data sources include newswire from Xinhua News Agency, articles from Sinorama Magazine, news from the website of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and transcripts from various broadcast news programs.
The LDC published Chinese Treebank 1.0 in 2000; it was later corrected and released in 2001 as Chinese Treebank 2.0 (LDC2001T11) and consisted of approximately 100,000 words. The LDC released Chinese Treebank 4.0 (LDC2004T05), an updated version containing roughly 400,000 words, in 2004. A year later, the LDC published the 500,000 word Chinese Treebank 5.0 (LDC2005T01).
For information about Chinese Treebank methodology and guidelines, consult the attached documentation files and the Chinese Treebank Project website.
