Domain Adaptation for Dependency Parsing at Evalita 2011
نویسندگان
چکیده
The domain adaptation task was aimed at investigating techniques for adapting state–of–the–art dependency parsing systems to new domains. Both the language dealt with, i.e. Italian, and the target domain, namely the legal domain, represent two main novelties of the task organised at Evalita 2011. In this paper, we define the task and describe how the datasets were created from different resources. In addition, we characterize the different approaches of the participating systems, report the test results, and provide a first analysis of these results.

Experiments in Newswire-to-Law Adaptation of Graph-Based Dependency Parsers
We evaluate two very different methods for domain adaptation of graph-based dependency parsers on the EVALITA 2011 Domain Adaptation data, namely instance-weighting [10] and self-training [9, 6]. Since the source and target domains (newswire and law, respectively) were very similar, instance-weighting was unlikely to be efficient, but some of the semi-supervised approaches led to significant im...
متن کاملThe Evalita 2011 Parsing Task: the Dependency Track
The aim of Evalita Parsing Task is at defining and extending Italian state of the art parsing by encouraging the application of existing models and approaches. As in the Evalita’07 and ’09, the Task is organized around two tracks, i.e. Dependency Parsing and Constituency Parsing. In this paper, we describe only the Dependency Parsing track by presenting the data sets for development and testing...

متن کاملThe EVALITA Dependency Parsing Task: From 2007 to 2011
The aim of the EVALITA Parsing Task (EPT) is at defining and extending Italian state-of-the-art parsing by encouraging the application of existing models and approaches, comparing paradigms and annotation formats. Therefore, in all the editions, held respectively in 2007, 2009 and 2011, the Task has been organized around two tracks, namely Dependency Parsing and Constituency Parsing, exploiting...
متن کاملEvalita’09 Parsing Task: constituency parsers and the Penn format for Italian
The aim of Evalita Parsing Task is at defining and extending the state of the art for parsing Italian by encouraging the application of existing models and approaches. Therefore, as in the first edition, the Task includes two tracks, i.e. dependency and constituency. This second track is based on a development set in a format, which is an adaptation for Italian of the Penn Treebank format, and ...
