This paper presents our work to apply non linear neural network for parsing five r esource p oor I ndian L anguages belonging to two major language families Indo-Aryan and Dravidian. Bengali and Marathi are Indo-Aryan languages whereas Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam belong to the Dravidian family. While little work has been done previously on Bengali and Telugu linear transition-based parsing, w...
