| # Kanjiland — Silver Annotations |
|
|
| 9,388 Japanese sentences annotated in the full **Kanjiland reading-comprehension |
| format**: morpheme segmentation, furigana (ruby on kanji runs), per-token |
| contextual glosses, word groupings, an English sentence translation, and |
| grammar-pattern labels from a closed 120-rule inventory. |
|
|
| Part of [**Kanjiland**](https://github.com/jakequist/kanjiland), a from-scratch |
| Japanese reading-comprehension engine. |
|
|
| ## Format |
|
|
| Each line of `silver_annotations.jsonl` is: |
|
|
| ```json |
| {"ja": "<Japanese sentence>", "wire": "<tagged annotation string>"} |
| ``` |
|
|
| The `wire` string uses Unicode Private-Use-Area separators (⟨T⟩ token, ⟨W⟩ word, |
| ⟨S⟩ sentence, ⟨G⟩ grammar). The format is specified in |
| [`docs/FORMAT_SPEC.md`](https://github.com/jakequist/kanjiland/blob/main/docs/FORMAT_SPEC.md); |
| the grammar rule inventory is |
| [`docs/GRAMMAR_RULES.md`](https://github.com/jakequist/kanjiland/blob/main/docs/GRAMMAR_RULES.md). |
|
|
| ## How it was made (hybrid supervision) |
|
|
| - **Source sentences:** KFTT (Kyoto Free Translation Task), formal/Wikipedia domain. |
| - **Deterministic layer:** MeCab + UniDic (offline) — segmentation, kanji-run ruby, POS, lemma. |
| - **Judgment layer:** an OpenAI teacher model — contextual glosses, translation, grammar labels. |
| - **Gate:** every annotation passes a strict format linter (93.9% of 10,000 sentences passed). |

|
|
| ## Limitations |
|
|
| - **Domain:** formal/Wikipedia (KFTT) — not conversational or web Japanese. |
| - **Silver, not gold:** teacher-generated; the linter catches structural errors but |
| not every semantic mislabel. Spot-audited, not exhaustively verified. |
