German Compounds Dataset for Compositionality Tests

The compounds in this dataset were extracted from the list of 54759 German compounds in GermaNet version 9.0, available at sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/lsd/compounds.shtml. The following paper describes the automatic compound splitting that is performed before the manual post-correction. If you want to use the split compounds in the context of scientific or research work, please refer to the paper: Verena Henrich and Erhard Hinrichs: Determining Immediate Constituents of Compounds in GermaNet.

In Proceedings of Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing (RANLP 2011), Hissar, Bulgaria, September 2011, pp. 420-426. [Download paper: aclweb.org/anthology/R11-1058] The initial compound list was filtered to only those compounds that had a minimum frequency of 500 in the DECOW14AX corpus (webcorpora.org/), resulting in a list of 34497 compounds, which were split into the train, test and dev splits (with 24147, 6901 and 3449 compounds respectively).
