Arabic Syntactic Trees: from Constituency to Dependency
نویسندگان
چکیده
This research note reports on the work in progress which regards automatic transformation of phrase-structure syntactic trees of Arabic into dependency-driven analytical ones. Guidelines for these descriptions have been developed at the Linguistic Data Consortium, University of Pennsylvania, and at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics and the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague, respectively. The transformation consists of (i) a recursive function translating the topology of a phrase tree into a corresponding dependency tree, and (ii) a procedure assigning analytical functions to the nodes of the dependency tree. Apart from an outline of the annotation schemes and a deeper insight into these procedures, model application of the transformation is given herein.

Bubble Trees and Syntactic Representations1
A new mathematical object, the bubble tree, is introduced and applied to the syntactic representation of sentences. Two themes are explored: first, the comparison of dependency and constituency models; second, the application of bubble trees to a particular syntactic model.
متن کاملOne-Step Statistical Parsing of Hybrid Dependency-Constituency Syntactic Representations
In this paper, we describe and compare two statistical parsing approaches for the hybrid dependency-constituency syntactic representation used in the Quranic Arabic Treebank (Dukes and Buckwalter, 2010). In our first approach, we apply a multi-step process in which we use a shift-reduce algorithm trained on a pure dependency preprocessed version of the treebank. After parsing, the dependency ou...
متن کاملAn Empirical Evaluation of Automatic Conversion from Constituency to Dependency in Hungarian
In this paper, we investigate the differences between Hungarian sentence parses based on automatically converted and manually annotated dependency trees. We also train constituency parsers on the manually annotated constituency treebank and then convert their output to dependency trees. We argue for the importance of training on gold standard corpora, and we also demonstrate that although the r...
متن کاملTranslation with Source Constituency and Dependency Trees
We present a novel translation model, which simultaneously exploits the constituency and dependency trees on the source side, to combine the advantages of two types of trees. We take head-dependents relations of dependency trees as backbone and incorporate phrasal nodes of constituency trees as the source side of our translation rules, and the target side as strings. Our rules hold the property...

There are two major types of treebanks: dependency-based and constituency-based. Both of them have applications in natural language processing and computational linguistics. Several dependency treebanks have been developed for Persian. However, there is no available big size constituency treebank for this language. In this paper, we aim to propose an algorithm for automatic conversion of a depe...
