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

Cross-Lingual Semantic Role Labeling With Model Transfer

TL;DR: This article proposed an end-to-end cross-lingual semantic role labeling (SRL) model that incorporates a variety of universal features and transfer methods, including pre-trained high-order abstract features and contextualized multilingual word representations.

Linguistic typology in natural language processing

TL;DR: The recent increase in interest in multilingual natural language processing and a high-level overview of the field are described and a discussion of how linguistic knowledge in general is incorporated in NLP technology is described.

Less is More? Towards a Reduced Inventory of Categories for Training a Parser for the Italian Stanford Dependencies

TL;DR: The goal of this paper is to explore pros and cons of different strategies for generating SD annotated Italian texts to enrich the existing Italian Stanford Dependency Treebank (ISDT).

Leveraging Multilingual Training for Limited Resource Event Extraction

TL;DR: It is shown empirically that multilingual training can boost performance for the tasks of event trigger extraction and event argument extraction on the Chinese ACE 2005 dataset.

The 54th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics

TL;DR: It is shown that topological fields can be predicted reliably using sequence labeling and that the predicted field labels can inform a transitionbased dependency parser.

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.
