ZombiLingo

Keywords: Syntactic analysis - Natural language processing - Lexical resource - Collaborative science

Functional Description: ZombiLingo is a prototype of a GWAP (Game With A Purpose) where gamers have to give linguistic information about the syntax of natural language sentences, currently in French, and later to other languages.

News Of The Year: Karën Fort and Bruno Guillaume proposed a new version of ZombiLingo this year. It is named ZombiLudik (https://zombiludik.org) and the main difference is that the linguistic data used are now based on the Universal Dependencies (UD) framework. Due to the recent success of the UD project, this format is now used for data in 90 different languages and we hope to find new collaborations to work on a similar games for some foreign languages. A first demonstration version was built on English data (https://en.zombiludik.org). Karën Fort and Bruno Guillaume presented the English version of the game in June during the NIEUW consortium meeting in London.
