Before participating to this Shared Task, our prototype had only been used to annotate function tags in a French Treebank: these data were drastically smaller, and the task was simpler.
coNLL 2009 ST is the first time the crotal System is run for a quite complex task, with so many data as input, and seven different languages (catalan, Spanish (Taulé et al., 2008), chinese (Palmer and Xue, 2009), czech (Hajič et al., 2006), English (Surdeanu et al., 2008), German (Burchardt et al., 2006) and Japanese (Kawahara et al., 2002)).
