Abstract
We present a new collection of treebanks with homogeneous syntactic dependency annotation for six languages: German, English, Swedish, Spanish, French and Korean. To show the usefulness of such a resource, we present a case study of crosslingual transfer parsing with more reliable evaluation than has been possible before. This ‘universal’ treebank is made freely available in order to facilitate research on multilingual dependency parsing. 1

Searching textual and model-based process descriptions based on a unified data format

TL;DR: This paper proposes a technique that is capable of searching textual as well as model-based process descriptions and automatically extracts activity-related and behavioral information from both descriptions types and stores it in a unified data format.

Deep Contextualized Self-training for Low Resource Dependency Parsing

TL;DR: Neural dependency parsing has proven very effective, achieving state-of-the-art results on numerous domains and languages as mentioned in this paper. But it requires large amounts of labeled data, which is costly.

IMST: A Revisited Turkish Dependency Treebank

TL;DR: An attempt at reannotating the treebank from the ground up using the proposed schemes is described, and the consistencies of the two versions of the original treebank are compared via cross-validation using a dependency parser.

A sub-character architecture for Korean language processing

Karl Stratos
TL;DR: The authors decomposes each character into a small set of primitive phonetic units called jamo letters from which character-and word-level representations are induced, revealing syntactic and semantic information that is difficult to access with conventional character-level units.

Cross-lingual Transfer Parsing for Low-Resourced Languages: An Irish Case Study

TL;DR: A study of cross-lingual direct transfer parsing for the Irish language by using universally annotated treebanks of ten languages from four language family groups to assess which languages are the most useful for cross-lingsual parsing of Irish.

Building a large annotated corpus of English: the penn treebank

TL;DR: As a result of this grant, the researchers have now published on CDROM a corpus of over 4 million words of running text annotated with part-of- speech (POS) tags, which includes a fully hand-parsed version of the classic Brown corpus.

Accurate Unlexicalized Parsing

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an unlexicalized PCFG can parse much more accurately than previously shown, by making use of simple, linguistically motivated state splits, which break down false independence assumptions latent in a vanilla treebank grammar.

Generating Typed Dependency Parses from Phrase Structure Parses

TL;DR: A system for extracting typed dependency parses of English sentences from phrase structure parses that captures inherent relations occurring in corpus texts that can be critical in real-world applications is described.

CoNLL-X Shared Task on Multilingual Dependency Parsing

TL;DR: How treebanks for 13 languages were converted into the same dependency format and how parsing performance was measured is described and general conclusions about multi-lingual parsing are drawn.

The Stanford Typed Dependencies Representation

TL;DR: This paper examines the Stanford typed dependencies representation, which was designed to provide a straightforward description of grammatical relations for any user who could benefit from automatic text understanding, and considers the underlying design principles of the Stanford scheme.
