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

Cross-linguistically Consistent Semantic and Syntactic Annotation of Child-directed Speech.
TL;DR: This article annotated the corpora with the Universal Dependencies (UD) scheme for syntactic annotation, motivated by its applicability to a wide variety of domains and languages, and then applied an automatic method for transducing sentential logical forms (LFs) from UD structures.

Cross-lingual Universal Dependency Parsing Only from One Monolingual Treebank.
Kailai Sun,Zuchao Li,Hai Zhao +2 more
TL;DR: The authors proposed a cross-lingual dependency parsing framework for transferring parser from only one source monolingual treebank to any other target languages without treebank available, which achieved promising results for all target languages, for the first time, approaching the parser performance which is trained in its own target treebank.

Are Multilingual BERT models robust? A Case Study on Adversarial Attacks for Multilingual Question Answering.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore and successfully attack a multilingual QA system pre-trained on multilingual BERT using several attack strategies for the adversarial statement and show that the model gives priority to English and the language of the question regardless of the other languages in the QA pair.

Rule-Based Spanish Morphological Analyzer Built From Spell Checking Lexicon.
TL;DR: A set of tools for Spanish-language morphological analysis, built using the COES spell checking tools, to label person, mood, tense, gender and number, derive a word's root noun or verb infinitive, and convert verbs to their nominal form are introduced.

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.
