We describe in this article an annotation scheme for deep dependency syntax, built from the surface annotation scheme of the Sequoia corpus, abstracting away from it and expressing the grammatical relations between content words. When these grammatical relations take part into verbal diatheses, we consider the diatheses as resulting from redistributions from the canonical diathesis, which we re...

We describe our contribution to the SemEval task on Frame-Semantic Structure Extraction. Unlike most previous systems described in literature, ours is based on dependency syntax. We also describe a fully automatic method to add words to the FrameNet lexical database, which gives an improvement in the recall of frame detection.

One of the components of a dialog system is the Natural Language Understanding (NLU) component. This component accepts natural language text, and returns the meaning of that text, in some formal application-specific meaning representation. One of the difficulties in building NLU components is the variability in natural language the many different ways by which a human can express the same meani...

This paper explains the principles of dependency analysis by reduction and its correspondence to the notions of dependency and dependency tree. The explanation is illustrated by examples from Czech, a language with a relatively high degree of word-order freedom. The paper sums up the basic features of methods of dependency syntax. The method serves as a basis for the verification (and explanati...
