Yapi and colleagues tested whether classifiers trained on occupational accident narratives from one sector could work in others without retraining.

The authors created an expert-annotated French corpus whose factual units were assigned one of four roles: work situation (A0), explicitly reported unfavourable condition (A1), accident event or deviation (B), and reported consequence (C).
