There is no correlation between agreement and number of available senses, or senses used by annotators.
“There is no correlation between the agreement and number of available senses, or senses used by annotators (Passonneau et al., 2012a).”

The MASC word sense data demonstrates that annotators can agree on words with many senses, but there are many words with low agreement and correspondingly questionable ground truth labels.
“While the MASC word sense data demonstrates that annotators can agree on words with many senses, there are many words with low agreement, and correspondingly questionable ground truth labels.”

Chance-adjusted agreement levels for MASC word sense annotations ranged from very high to chance levels, with similar variation for pairwise agreement.
“Chanceadjusted agreement levels ranged from very high to chance levels, with similar variation for pairwise agreement (Passonneau et al., 2012a).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
