Parallel Syntactic Annotation of Multiple Languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an effort to investigate the incrementally deepening development of an interlingua notation, validated by human annotation of texts in English plus six languages. We begin with deep syntactic annotation, and in this paper present a series of annotation manuals for six different languages at the deep-syntactic level of representation. Many syntactic differences between languages are removed in the proposed syntactic annotation, making them useful resources for multilingual NLP projects with semantic components.

Joint part-of-speech and dependency projection from multiple sources
Most previous work on annotation projection has been limited to a subset of IndoEuropean languages, using only a single source language, and projecting annotation for one task at a time. In contrast, we present an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) algorithm that simultaneously projects annotation for multiple tasks from multiple source languages, relying on parallel corpora available for hundred...
متن کاملBootstrapping parsers via syntactic projection across parallel texts
Broad coverage, high quality parsers are available for only a handful of languages. A prerequisite for developing broad coverage parsers for more languages is the annotation of text with the desired linguistic representations (also known as “treebanking”). However, syntactic annotation is a labor intensive and time-consuming process, and it is difficult to find linguistically annotated text in ...
متن کاملImproving Dependency Parsing with Interlinear Glossed Text and Syntactic Projection
Producing annotated corpora for resource-poor languages can be prohibitively expensive, while obtaining parallel, unannotated corpora may be more easily achieved. We propose a method of augmenting a discriminative dependency parser using syntactic projection information. This modification will allow the parser to take advantage of unannotated parallel corpora where high-quality automatic annota...
متن کاملTowards Semi-Automatic Generation of Proposition Banks for Low-Resource Languages
Annotation projection based on parallel corpora has shown great promise in inexpensively creating Proposition Banks for languages for which high-quality parallel corpora and syntactic parsers are available. In this paper, we present an experimental study where we apply this approach to three languages that lack such resources: Tamil, Bengali and Malayalam. We find an average quality difference ...
متن کاملSyntactic Structures and Rhetorical Functions of Electrical Engineering, Psychiatry, and Linguistics Research Article Titles in English and Persian: A Cross-linguistic and Cross-disciplinary Study
A research article (RA) title is the first and foremost feature that attracts the reader's attention, the feature from which she/he may decide whether the whole article is worth reading. The present study attempted to investigate syntactic structures and rhetorical functions of RA titles written in English and Persian and published in journals in three disciplines of Electrical Engineering, Psy...
