Tuggener, Don (2017). A method for in-depth comparative evaluation: How (dis)similar are outputs of POS taggers, dependency parsers and coreference resolvers really? In: 15th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Valencia, Spain, 3 April 2017 - 7 April 2017. Association for Computational Linguistics, 188-198.
This paper proposes a generic method for the comparative evaluation of system outputs. The approach is able to quantify the pairwise differences between two outputs and to unravel in detail what the differences consist of. We apply our approach to three tasks in Computational Linguistics, i.e. POS tagging, dependency parsing, and coreference resolution. We find that system outputs are more distinct than the (often) small differences in evaluation scores seem to suggest.
