Abstract

We present a set of experiments on dependency parsing of the Basque Dependency Treebank (BDT). The present work has examined several directions that try to explore the rich set of morphosyntactic features in the BDT: i) experimenting the impact of morphological features, ii) application of dependency tree transformations, iii) application of a two-stage parsing scheme (stacking), and iv) combinations of the individual experiments. All the tests were conducted using MaltParser (Nivre et al., 2007a), a freely available and state of the art dependency parser generator.

Improve Chinese Semantic Dependency Parsing via Syntactic Dependency Parsing

We address the problem of Chinese semantic dependency parsing. Dependency parsing is traditionally oriented to syntax analysis, which we denote by syntactic dependency parsing to distinguish it from semantic dependency parsing. In this paper, firstly we ...
Testing the effect of morphological disambiguation in dependency parsing of Basque

This paper presents a set of experiments performed on parsing Basque, a morphologically rich and agglutinative language, studying the effect of using the morphological analyzer for Basque together with the morphological disambiguation module, in ...

Abstract
Semantic dependency parse is the dependency graph of a sentence. This graph shows the grammatical dependencies between words in a sentence clearer than the dependency parse because it allows one word possibly be the dependant in two or more ...
