What it is

A treebank is a collection of sentences where each one comes with its grammatical tree, drawn or checked by people. The Penn Treebank of English newspaper text made statistical parsing possible; today the Universal Dependencies treebanks cover more than a hundred languages.

Treebanks are how parsers learn and how they are measured. Building one is slow, careful work: guidelines, trained annotators, agreement checks. Every treebank also has its own habits, and knowing them matters as much as the trees themselves.

How Mova does it

Mova keeps a folder for every UD treebank it uses, with its annotation habits and converters, and builds its own silver corpus of English trees. On this site every sentence of its corpora — the Tanakh, the school lessons and the fairy tales — has its own page with its tree drawn word by word.
