Parsing Mildly Non-Projective Dependency Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present novel parsing algorithms for several sets of mildly non-projective dependency structures. First, we define a parser for well-nested structures of gap degree at most 1, with the same complexity as the best existing parsers for constituency formalisms of equivalent generative power. We then extend this algorithm to handle all well-nested structures with gap degree bounded by any constant k. Finally, we define a parsing algorithm for a new class of structures with gap degree up to k that includes some ill-nested structures. This set of structures, which we call mildly ill-nested, includes all the gap degree k structures in a number of dependency treebanks.

Dependency Parsing Schemata and Mildly Non-Projective Dependency Parsing
We introduce dependency parsing schemata, a formal framework based on Sikkel’s parsing schemata for constituency parsers, which can be used to describe, analyze, and compare dependency parsing algorithms. We use this framework to describe several well-known projective and non-projective dependency parsers, build correctness proofs, and establish formal relationships between them. We then use th...
متن کاملTreebank Grammar Techniques for Non-Projective Dependency Parsing
An open problem in dependency parsing is the accurate and efficient treatment of non-projective structures. We propose to attack this problem using chart-parsing algorithms developed for mildly contextsensitive grammar formalisms. In this paper, we provide two key tools for this approach. First, we show how to reduce nonprojective dependency parsing to parsing with Linear Context-Free Rewriting...
متن کاملMildly Non-Projective Dependency Grammar
Syntactic representations based on word-to-word dependencies have a long tradition in descriptive linguistics, and receive considerable interest in many computational applications. However, dependency syntax has remained somewhat of an island from a formal point of view, which hampers the exchange of resources and computational methods with other syntactic traditions. In this article, we presen...
متن کاملPseudo-Projective Dependency Parsing
In order to realize the full potential of dependency-based syntactic parsing, it is desirable to allow non-projective dependency structures. We show how a datadriven deterministic dependency parser, in itself restricted to projective structures, can be combined with graph transformation techniques to produce non-projective structures. Experiments using data from the Prague Dependency Treebank s...
متن کاملIncremental Non-Projective Dependency Parsing
An open issue in data-driven dependency parsing is how to handle non-projective dependencies, which seem to be required by linguistically adequate representations, but which pose problems in parsing with respect to both accuracy and efficiency. Using data from five different languages, we evaluate an incremental deterministic parser that derives non-projective dependency structures in O(n2) tim...
