Development of a Persian Syntactic Dependency Treebank
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the annotation process and linguistic properties of the Persian syntactic dependency treebank. The treebank consists of approximately 30,000 sentences annotated with syntactic roles in addition to morpho-syntactic features. One of the unique features of this treebank is that there are almost 4800 distinct verb lemmas in its sentences making it a valuable resource for educational goals. The treebank is constructed with a bootstrapping approach by means of available tagging and parsing tools and manually correcting the annotations. The data is splitted into standard train, development and test set in the CoNLL dependency format and is freely available to researchers.

An 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 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 کاملA Syntactic Valency Lexicon for Persian Verbs: The First Steps towards Persian Dependency Treebank
Valency lexicons are valuable resources for natural language processing. The need for new resources for languages encourages researchers to collect new datasets. One of the most important datasets is valency lexicons. In valency lexicons, information about obligatory and optional complements of words is annotated at the syntactic and semantic levels. In this paper, we report the development of ...

متن کاملA Novel Approach to Conditional Random Field-based Named Entity Recognition using Persian Specific Features
Named Entity Recognition is an information extraction technique that identifies name entities in a text. Three popular methods have been conventionally used namely: rule-based, machine-learning-based and hybrid of them to extract named entities from a text. Machine-learning-based methods have good performance in the Persian language if they are trained with good features. To get good performanc...
