Parsing Indian Languages with MaltParser
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the application of MaltParser, a transition-based dependency parser, to three Indian languages – Bangla, Hindi and Telugu – in the context of the NLP Tools Contest at ICON 2009. In the final evaluation, MaltParser was ranked second among the participating systems and achieved an unlabeled attachment score close to 90% for Bangla and Hindi, and over 85% for Telugu, while the labeled attachment score was 15–25 percentage points lower. It is likely that the high unlabeled accuracy is achieved thanks to a relatively low syntactic complexity in the data sets, while the low labeled accuracy is due to the limited amounts of training data.

Building a Dependency Parsing Model for Russian with MaltParser and MyStem Tagset
The paper describes a series of experiments on building a dependency parsing model using MaltParser, the SynTagRus treebank of Russian, and the morphological tagger Mystem. The experiments have two purposes. The first one is to train a model with a reasonable balance of quality and parsing time. The second one is to produce user-friendly software which would be practical for obtaining quick res...
متن کاملOptimizing MaltParser for Italian and Catalan
This report documents the process and presents the results of optimizing the MaltParser system for Italian and Catalan, two of the languages included in the multilingual track of the CoNLL 2007 shared task on dependency parsing. We summarize the optimization process and explain the most important MaltParser parameters. We further report notable improvements during development and present the of...

Parsing unrestricted text is useful for many language technology applications but requires parsing methods that are both robust and efficient. MaltParser is a language-independent system for data-driven dependency parsing that can be used to induce a parser for a new language from a treebank sample in a simple yet flexible manner. Experimental evaluation confirms that MaltParser can achieve rob...

متن کاملMaltParser: A Data-Driven Parser-Generator for Dependency Parsing
We introduce MaltParser, a data-driven parser generator for dependency parsing. Given a treebank in dependency format, MaltParser can be used to induce a parser for the language of the treebank. MaltParser supports several parsing algorithms and learning algorithms, and allows user-defined feature models, consisting of arbitrary combinations of lexical features, part-of-speech features and depe...
