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

Dependency structure annotation in the IULA Spanish LSP Treebank
TL;DR: The IULA Spanish LSP Treebank is the first technical corpus of Spanish annotated at surface syntactic level, following the dependency grammar theory, developed in the framework of the European project METANET4U.

Knowledge bases and description logics applications to natural language texts analysis
TL;DR: The article describes some ways of knowledge bases application to natural language texts analysis and solving some of their processing tasks, including checking constructed syntactic and semantic models for consistency and question answering.

A Regularization-based Framework for Bilingual Grammar Induction
Yong Jiang,Wenjuan Han,Kewei Tu +2 more
TL;DR: A framework in which the learning process of the grammar model of one language is influenced by knowledge from the model of another language, and three regularization methods that encourage similarity between model parameters, dependency edge scores, and parse trees are proposed.
Experiments for Dependency Parsing of Greek
TL;DR: This paper describes experiments for statistical dependency parsing using two different parsers trained on a recently extended dependency treebank for Greek and shows how scores obtained by the two parsers are influenced by morphology and dependency types as well as sentence and arc length.

Unsupervised Aspect Term Extraction in Online Drugs Reviews.
TL;DR: A new unsupervised and knowledge-based method is proposed for extracting aspects in drug reviews based on linguistic features, more specifically dependency paths in the syntactic tree of a review.

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.
