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

Constructing Code-mixed Universal Dependency Forest for Unbiased Cross-lingual Relation Extraction

TL;DR: In this article , a code-mixed universal dependency (UD) forest is constructed for cross-lingual relation extraction (XRE) by translating the sentence of the source language to the parallel target-side language, for both of which they parse the UD tree respectively.

Adventures in Multilingual Parsing

Joakim Nivre
TL;DR: Techniques for joint morphological and syntactic parsing that combines statistical dependency parsing and rule-based morphological analysis, specifically targeting the challenges posed by richly inflected languages are described.

Towards Cross-language Application of Dependency Grammar

TL;DR: This paper discusses the adaptation of the Stanford typed dependency model (de Marneffe and Manning 2008) to the requirements of typologically different languages from the viewpoint of practical parsing and argues for a framework of functional dependency grammar that is based on the idea of parallelism between syntax and semantics.

Multilingual discriminative lexicalized parsing

TL;DR: This work provides a generalization of discriminative lexicalized shift reduce parsing techniques for phrase structure grammar to a wide range of morphologically rich languages.

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.
