Frustratingly Easy Cross-Lingual Transfer for Transition-Based Dependency Parsing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a straightforward strategy for transferring dependency parsers across languages. The proposed method learns a parser from partially annotated data obtained through the projection of annotations across unambiguous word alignments. It does not rely on any modeling of the reliability of dependency and/or alignment links and is therefore easy to implement and parameter free. Experiments on six languages show that our method is at par with recent algorithmically demanding methods, at a much cheaper computational cost. It can thus serve as a fair baseline for transferring dependencies across languages with the use of parallel corpora.

Cross-Lingual Dependency Parsing with Late Decoding for Truly Low-Resource Languages
In cross-lingual dependency annotation projection, information is often lost during transfer because of early decoding. We present an end-to-end graph-based neural network dependency parser that can be trained to reproduce matrices of edge scores, which can be directly projected across word alignments. We show that our approach to cross-lingual dependency parsing is not only simpler, but also a...
متن کاملCross-lingual Transfer Parsing for Low-Resourced Languages: An Irish Case Study
We present a study of cross-lingual direct transfer parsing for the Irish language. Firstly we discuss mapping of the annotation scheme of the Irish Dependency Treebank to a universal dependency scheme. We explain our dependency label mapping choices and the structural changes required in the Irish Dependency Treebank. We then experiment with the universally annotated treebanks of ten languages...
متن کاملAnnotation Projection-based Representation Learning for Cross-lingual Dependency Parsing
Cross-lingual dependency parsing aims to train a dependency parser for an annotation-scarce target language by exploiting annotated training data from an annotation-rich source language, which is of great importance in the field of natural language processing. In this paper, we propose to address cross-lingual dependency parsing by inducing latent crosslingual data representations via matrix co...
متن کاملAn improved joint model: POS tagging and dependency parsing
Dependency parsing is a way of syntactic parsing and a natural language that automatically analyzes the dependency structure of sentences, and the input for each sentence creates a dependency graph. Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging is a prerequisite for dependency parsing. Generally, dependency parsers do the POS tagging task along with dependency parsing in a pipeline mode. Unfortunately, in pipel...
متن کاملCross-lingual Dependency Parsing Based on Distributed Representations
This paper investigates the problem of cross-lingual dependency parsing, aiming at inducing dependency parsers for low-resource languages while using only training data from a resource-rich language (e.g. English). Existing approaches typically don’t include lexical features, which are not transferable across languages. In this paper, we bridge the lexical feature gap by using distributed featu...
