Old French Dependency Parsing: Results of Two Parsers Analysed from a Linguistic Point of View
نویسنده
چکیده
The treatment of medieval texts is a particular challenge for parsers. I compare how two dependency parsers, one graph-based, the other transition-based, perform on Old French, facing some typical problems of medieval texts: graphical variation, relatively free word order, and syntactic variation of several parameters over a diachronic period of about 300 years. Both parsers were trained and evaluated on the Syntactic Reference Corpus of Medieval French (SRCMF), a manually annotated dependency treebank. I discuss the relation between types of parsers and types of language, as well as the differences of the analyses from a linguistic point of view.

An 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 کاملEvaluation and interoperable annotations: the point of view of a parser developer
The present paper is written within the framework of the French ANR-Passage project that gathers ten parser developers. The main motivations of the project are to evaluate parsers for French, to test their accuracy and robustness on large scale corpora and then to combine the resulting annotations to create a richer and more extensive linguistic resource.
متن کاملImproving the Usability of Statistical Parsers by Incorporating Linguistic Constraints
Statistical systems with high accuracy are very useful in real-world applications. If these systems can capture basic linguistic information, then the usefulness of these statistical systems improve a lot. This paper is an attempt at incorporating linguistic constraints in statistical dependency parsing. We consider a simple linguistic constraint that a verb should not have multiple subjects/ob...
متن کاملA Comparison of Dependency Parsers for German
The thesis presents the analysis of dependency parsing systems that are used for parsing German. We restrict ourselves to four parsers operated on the same input data: two of the parsing systems are data-driven; other two are grammar-driven parsers. The main similarity of these parsers is that all of them are based on the same linguistic framework – the dependency theory described in the second...
