- Performance measure: F = 2 * Precision * Recall / (Recall + Precision)
- Precision: percentage of NPs found by the algorithm that are correct
- Recall: percentage of NPs defined in the corpus that were found by the chunking program
- Training data: sections 15-18 of Wall Street Journal corpus (Ramshaw and Marcus)
- Testing data: section 20 of Wall Street Journal corpus (Ramshaw and Marcus)
- original data of the NP chunking experiments by Lance Ramshaw and Mitch Marcus
- data contains one word per line and each line contains six fields of which only the first three fields are relevant: the word, the part-of-speech tag assigned by the Brill tagger, and the correct IOB tag
- dataset is available from ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/chunker/
- more information is available from NP Chunking
