Abstract

This paper describes Sherlock, a generalized update to one of the top-performing systems in the *SEM 2012 shared task on Negation Resolution. The system and the original negation annotations have been adapted to work across different segmentation and morpho-syntactic analysis schemes, making Sherlock suitable to study the downstream effects of different approaches to pre-processing and grammatical analysis on negation resolution.
