The Incremental Use of Morphological Information and Lexicalization in Data-Driven Dependency Parsing

چکیده
Typological diversity among the natural languages of the world poses interesting challenges for the models and algorithms used in syntactic parsing. In this paper, we apply a data-driven dependency parser to Turkish, a language characterized by rich morphology and flexible constituent order, and study the effect of employing varying amounts of morpholexical information on parsing performance. The investigations show that accuracy can be improved by using representations based on inflectional groups rather than word forms, confirming earlier studies. In addition, lexicalization and the use of rich morphological features are found to have a positive effect. By combining all these techniques, we obtain the highest reported accuracy for parsing the Turkish Treebank.

Data-driven systems can be adapted to different languages and domains easily. Using this trend in dependency parsing was lead to introduce data-driven approaches. Existence of appreciate corpora that contain sentences and theirs associated dependency trees are the only pre-requirement in data-driven approaches. Despite obtaining high accurate results for dependency parsing task in English langu...
متن کاملAn 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 کاملMinimally Lexicalized Dependency Parsing
Dependency structures do not have the information of phrase categories in phrase structure grammar. Thus, dependency parsing relies heavily on the lexical information of words. This paper discusses our investigation into the effectiveness of lexicalization in dependency parsing. Specifically, by restricting the degree of lexicalization in the training phase of a parser, we examine the change in...
متن کاملOn the Role of Explicit Morphological Feature Representation in Syntactic Dependency Parsing for German
We investigate the question whether an explicit feature representation for morphological features is necessary when parsing German with a fully lexicalized, statistical dependency parser. We use two morphosyntactic phenomena of German to show that while lexicalization does indeed suffice to a large extent when recovering the internal structure of noun phrases, an accurate explicit representatio...
متن کاملMink: An Incremental Data-Driven Dependency Parser with Integrated Conversion to Semantics
While there are several data-driven dependency parsers, there is still a gap with regards to incrementality. However, as shown in Brick and Scheutz [3], incremental processing is necessary in human-robot interaction. As is shown in Nivre et al. [12], dependency parsing is well-suited for mostly incremental processing. However, there is as of yet no dependency parser that combines syntax and sem...
