Abstract: Corpora are fundamental to natural language processing(NLP) and corpus annotation quality influences the performance of the systems based on supervised machine learning approaches. Aiming at Chinese treebank, an approach was proposed to find potential errors based on inconsistencies. Inconsistencies were detected with two strategies: one uses similar internal structure and suspicious degree, the other uses the annotation guideline to check those annotations, which don't meet the definitions of the guideline. Experimental results show that there are some annotation errors in the inconsistencies.

Key words: inconsistencies, potential error, natural language processing, Chinese treebank
