TLDR
A new collection of treebanks with homogeneous syntactic dependency annotation for six languages: German, English, Swedish, Spanish, French and Korean is presented, made freely available in order to facilitate research on multilingual dependency parsing.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. 1read more

From Aari to Zulu: Massively Multilingual Creation of Language Tools using Interlinear Glossed Text
TL;DR: This dissertation examines the suitability of Interlinear Glossed Text (IGT) as a computational, semi-structured resource for creating NLP tools for resource-poor languages, with a focus on the tasks of word alignment, part-of-speech (POS) tagging, and dependency parsing.
Un corpus annoté pour le français : le French Treebank
TL;DR: The French Treebank (FTB) as mentioned in this paper is a lexical and syntactic resource with rich annotation and manual validation, which is usable by linguists and for NLP and has about 300 users in the world.

Community Standards for Linguistically-Annotated Resources
Nancy Ide,Nicoletta Calzolari,Judith Eckle-Kohler,Dafydd Gibbon,Sebastian Hellmann,Ki Yong Lee,Joakim Nivre,Laurent Romary +7 more
TL;DR: This chapter describes in some detail several current, major efforts that define the standardization landscape for language resources today, with the aim of outlining their differences and commonalities and identifying the progress that has been made to date as well as the obstacles to definitive standardization.

Dependency parsing with finite state transducers and compression rules
Pablo Gamallo,Marcos Garcia +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that the performance of the cross-lingual method does not change across related languages and across different treebanks, while most supervised methods turn out to be very dependent on the text domain used to train the system.

tweeDe – A Universal Dependencies treebank for German tweets
TL;DR: This paper introduces the first German treebank for Twitter microtext, annotated within the framework of Universal Dependencies, and describes the data selection and annotation process and presents baseline parsing results for the new testsuite.

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
Dan Klein,Christopher D. Manning +1 more
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
Sabine Buchholz,Erwin Marsi +1 more
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.
