news, podcasts, speeches, textbooks, travel, vlogs, how-to and Reddit forum 
discussions. The corpus is created by students as part of the Computational 
Linguistics curriculum at Georgetown University and is available under Creative

This is the first version of GUM series 10, containing roughly 228K tokens

- Sentence segmentation and rough speech act (manual)

- Document structure using TEI tags (paragraphs, headings, figures, captions 
etc., all manual)

- Constituent and dependency syntax (manually corrected Universal Dependencies, 
and PTB parses from gold tags with function labels and enhanced dependencies)

- Information status (given-active/inactive, accessible-inferable/common 
ground/aggregate, and new)

- Entity type, salience and coreference annotation (including non-named 
entities, singletons, appositions, cataphora and several types of bridging), as 
well as Centering Theory annotations

- Entity linking (Wikification) of all named entities with Wikipedia articles, 
including their non-named and pronominal mentions

- Discourse parses in enhanced Rhetorical Structure Theory (eRST) and discourse 
dependencies

indicating how the presence of a relation is marked (based on the Signaling
