News Events

In this template the goal is to judge whether a highlighted word phrase expresses an event in a sentence.

Annotation setting

The workers are given a sentence with one putative event highlighted (capitalized), that was previously extracted. First, they are asked to judge whether the capitalized word phrase refers to an event, an action or none of them and motivate the answer. The second step applies only when the worker considers the capitalized word phrase an event/action. Then, they are asked to choose from a list of event types (Purpose, Arriving_or_Departing, Motion, Communication, Usage, Judgment, Leadership, Success_or_failure, Sending_or_receiving, Action, Attack, Political, Other, Not_applicable) each type that could be applied on the event.

Result vector

The crowd answers are stored in a vector, which captures each selection of the crowd as following: [EvT1, EvT2, EvT3, EvT4, EvT5, EvT6, EvT7, EvT8, EvT9, EvT10, EvT11, EvT12, OTHER, NOT_APPLICABLE]
