ANTILLES : An Open French Linguistically Enriched Part-of-Speech Corpus

ANTILLES is a part-of-speech tagging corpus based on UD_French-GSD which was originally created in 2015 and is based on the universal dependency treebank v2.0.

Originally, the corpus consists of 400,399 words (16,341 sentences) and had 17 different classes. Now, after applying our tags augmentation script transform.py, we obtain 60 different classes which add semantic information such as: the gender, number, mood, person, tense or verb form given in the different CoNLL-03 fields from the original corpus.

We based our tags on the level of details given by the LIA_TAGG statistical POS tagger written by Frédéric Béchet in 2001.
