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

Dynamic-oracle Transition-based Parsing with Calibrated Probabilistic Output
TL;DR: Evaluation of an Arc-Eager parser on 6 languages shows that the AdaGrad-RDA based training procedure results in models that provide the same high level of accuracy as the averagedperceptron trained models, while being sparser and providing well-calibrated probabilistic output.

Latin Vallex. A Treebank-based Semantic Valency Lexicon for Latin
TL;DR: This paper presents Latin Vallex, a valency lexicon for Latin built in mutual connection with the semantic and pragmatic annotation of two Latin treebanks featuring texts of different eras.

Cross-lingual transfer learning for relation extraction using Universal Dependencies
Nasrin Taghizadeh,Heshaam Faili +1 more
TL;DR: A novel transfer learning method is presented for cross-language relation extraction using the Universal Dependency (UD) parsing, which is a language-agnostic formalism for representation of syntactic structures, and two deep networks are proposed to use this representation.

Detecting light verb constructions across languages
TL;DR: This paper focuses on the automatic detection of LVCs in raw text in four different languages, namely, English, German, Spanish, and Hungarian, and provides a standardized (i.e., language-independent) representation of LVDs that can be used in machine learning experiments.

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.
