Dependency-based Sentence Synthesis Component for Czech
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a complex rule-based system for generating Czech sentences out of tectogrammatical trees, as introduced in Functional Generative Description (FGD) and implemented in the Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0 (PDT 2.0). Linguistically relevant phenomena including valency, diathesis, condensation, agreement, word order, punctuation and vocalization have been studied and implemented in Perl using software tools shipped with PDT 2.0. Parallels between generation from the tectogrammatical layer in FGD and deep syntactic representation in Meaning-Text Theory are also briefly sketched.

Automatic Alignment of Czech and English Deep Syntactic Dependency Trees⋆
In this paper, we focus on alignment of Czech and English tectogrammatical dependency trees. The alignment of deep syntactic dependency trees can be used for training transfer models for machine translation systems based on analysis-transfer-synthesis architecture. The results of our experiments show that shifting the alignment task from the word layer to the tectogrammatical layer both (a) inc...
متن کاملWays to Improve the Quality of English-Czech Machine Translation
This thesis describes English-Czech Machine Translation as it is implemented in TectoMT system. The transfer uses deep-syntactic dependency (tectogrammatical) trees and exploits the annotation scheme of Prague Dependency Treebank. The primary goal of the thesis is to improve the translation quality using both rule-base and statistical methods. First, we present a manual annotation of translatio...
متن کاملAnnotation of sentence structure - Capturing the relationship between clauses in Czech sentences
The focus of this article is on the creation of a collection of sentences manually annotated with respect to their sentence structure. We show that the concept of linear segments—linguistically motivated units, which may be easily detected automatically—serves as a good basis for the identification of clauses in Czech. The segment annotation captures such relationships as subordination, coordin...
متن کاملIdentification of Topic and Focus in Czech: Evaluation of Manual Parallel Annotations
is paper presents results of a control annotation of the Topic-Focus Articulation of Czech sentences based on the notion of “aboutness”. is is one of the steps testing the hypothesis about the relation between contextual boundness and “aboutness”. We suppose that the bipartition of the sentence into its Topic and Focus (“aboutness”) can be automatically derived from the values of contextual b...
متن کاملPrague Czech-English Dependency Treebank: Any Hopes For A Common Annotation Scheme?
The Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank (PCEDT) is a new syntactically annotated Czech-English parallel resource. The Penn Treebank has been translated to Czech, and its annotation automatically transformed into dependency annotation scheme. The dependency annotation of Czech is done from plain text by automatic procedures. A small subset of corresponding Czech and English sentences has be...
