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

A Universal Dependencies Treebank of Ancient Hebrew
Daniel Swanson,Francis M. Tyers +1 more
TL;DR: The initial construction of a Universal Dependencies treebank with morphological annotations of Ancient Hebrew containing portions of the Hebrew Scriptures is presented for use in comparative study with ancient translations and for analysis of the development of Hebrew syntax.

Eye tracking as a language proficiency test
TL;DR: In this article, an eye-tracking camera was used to track a user's gaze during reading a sample text to predict the language proficiency of a learner based on their gaze patterns.

Contextualizing Variation in Text Style Transfer Datasets
TL;DR: The authors conduct several empirical analyses of existing text style datasets and propose a categorization of stylistic and dataset properties to consider when utilizing or comparing text style data sets, based on which a style is realized in a particular dataset.

Toward the morpho-syntactic annotation of an Old English corpus with universal dependencies
TL;DR: The authors take the first steps toward the compilation of a treebank of Old English compatible with the framework of Universal Dependencies (UD), which will comprise morphological and syntactic annotation of old English texts adequate for cross-linguistic comparison, diachronic analysis and natural language processing.
Universal Dependencies and Semantics for English and Hebrew Child-directed Speech
TL;DR: A semi-automatic syntactic annotation follows the Universal Dependencies standard (UD; de Marneffe et al., 2021), adapted to suit the CDS genre, and employs a methodology that enforces a cross-linguistically consistent representation.

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.
