UD scale: *manual native* — annotated by hand directly in UD; *converted from manual* — converted from manual annotation in another scheme; *converted with corrections* — converted and partly corrected by hand; *automatic with corrections* — automatic, with partial manual corrections; *automatic* — automatic; *not available* — the layer is absent.

## Size

| Split | Sentences | Tokens | Words | Multiword tokens | Empty nodes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| test | 2 289 | 23 344 | 23 896 | 552 | 0 |
| **total** | 2 289 | 23 344 | 23 896 | 552 | 0 |

Tokens are surface tokens (Spanish `vámonos` is one), words are syntactic words (`vamos` + `nos`); multiword tokens are those split into several words; empty nodes are the `N.M` nodes of the enhanced graph. Splits train, dev are absent from the release.

## Summary

> The corpus **UD_French-FQB** is an automatic conversion of the [French QuestionBank v1](http://alpage.inria.fr/Treebanks/FQB/), a corpus entirely made of questions.

## Introduction

> The original **French QuestionBank** is described in [Hard Time Parsing Questions: Building a QuestionBank for French.](https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01457184v2). It was converted to **UD** with the conversion system described in the chapter 3 of the book [Application of Graph Rewriting to Natural Language Processing](https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01814386) and available on [Inria Gitlab](https://gitlab.inria.fr/grew/SSQ_UD).
> 
> The original annotation scheme versions (phrase-structure, surface dependencies following the FTB scheme, Deep syntax annotations following the [Deep Sequoia scheme](https://deep-sequoia.inria.fr) are available at the following [URL](http://alpage.inria.fr/Treebanks/FQB/).
