Comparing the Influence of Different Treebank Annotations on Dependency Parsing
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the interest of the NLP community grows to develop several treebanks also for languages other than English, we observe efforts towards evaluating the impact of different annotation strategies used to represent particular languages or with reference to particular tasks. This paper contributes to the debate on the influence of resources used for the training and development on the performance of parsing systems.It presents a comparative analysis of the results achieved by three different dependency parsers developed and tested with respect to two treebanks for the Italian language, namely TUT and ISST–TANL, which differ significantly at the level of both corpus composition and adopted dependency representations.

Because Size Does Matter: The Hamburg Dependency Treebank
We present the Hamburg Dependency Treebank (HDT), which to our knowledge is the largest dependency treebank currently available. It consists of genuine dependency annotations, i. e. they have not been transformed from phrase structures. We explore characteristics of the treebank and compare it against others. To exemplify the benefit of large dependency treebanks, we evaluate different parsers ...
متن کاملAn annotation scheme for Persian based on Autonomous Phrases Theory and Universal Dependencies
A treebank is a corpus with linguistic annotations above the level of the parts of speech. During the first half of the present decade, three treebanks have been developed for Persian either originally or subsequently based on dependency grammar: Persian Treebank (PerTreeBank), Persian Syntactic Dependency Treebank, and Uppsala Persian Dependency Treebank (UPDT). The syntactic analysis of a sen...
متن کاملAn Empirical Study of Differences between Conversion Schemes and Annotation Guidelines
We establish quantitative methods for comparing and estimating the quality of dependency annotations or conversion schemes. We use generalized tree-edit distance to measure divergence between annotations and propose theoretical learnability, derivational perplexity and downstream performance for evaluation. We present systematic experiments with treeto-dependency conversions of the PennIII tree...
متن کاملFeature Engineering in Persian Dependency Parser
Dependency parser is one of the most important fundamental tools in the natural language processing, which extracts structure of sentences and determines the relations between words based on the dependency grammar. The dependency parser is proper for free order languages, such as Persian. In this paper, data-driven dependency parser has been developed with the help of phrase-structure parser fo...
متن کاملOptimizing a PoS Tagset for Norwegian Dependency Parsing
This paper reports on a suite of experiments that evaluates how the linguistic granularity of part-of-speech tagsets impacts the performance of tagging and syntactic dependency parsing. Our results show that parsing accuracy can be significantly improved by introducing more finegrained morphological information in the tagset, even if tagger accuracy is compromised. Our taggers and parsers are t...
