Noun compound repository

Welcome to the University of Texas Noun Compound Repository! (formerly hosted at UT site)

Welcome to the UT noun compound repository! It is a repository of noun compound data sets that can be used to empirically evaluate noun compound interpretation/classification algorithms.

The table below summarizes the data sets in the repository. You are welcome to link your own noun compound data and edit the content of this page.
