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

Enhanced UD Dependencies with Neutralized Diathesis Alternation

TL;DR: This work proposes to go further and enrich the enhanced dependency scheme along two axis: extending the cases of recovered arguments of non-finite verbs, and neutralizing syntactic alternations, which leads to both richer and more uniform structures.

How important is syntactic parsing accuracy? An empirical evaluation on rule-based sentiment analysis

TL;DR: This paper performed an empirical, task-oriented evaluation to determine how parsing accuracy influences the performance of a state-of-the-art rule-based sentiment analysis system that determines the polarity of sentences from their parse trees.

Challenges of Annotating a Code-Switching Treebank

TL;DR: Challenges and observations on creating a code-switching treebank based on ongoing annotation efforts of a Turkish–German spoken corpus following the Universal Dependencies annotation scheme are presented.

Constrained arc-eager dependency parsing

TL;DR: This work shows how arc-eager dependency parsers can be constrained to respect two different types of conditions on the output dependency graph: span constraints, which require certain spans to correspond to subtrees of the graph, and arc constraints, who require certain arcs to be present in the graph.

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.
