Treebanks is one of important and useful resource in Natural Language Processing tasks. Dependency and phrase structures are two famous kinds of treebanks. There have already made many efforts to convert dependency structure to phrase structure. In this paper we study an approach to convert dependency structure to phrase structure because of lack of a big phrase structure Treebank in Persian. A...

Phrase-boundary model for statistical machine translation labels the rules with classes of boundary words on the target side phrases of training corpus. In this paper, we extend the phrase-boundary model using shallow syntactic labels including POS tags and chunk labels. With the priority of chunk labels, the proposed model names non-terminals with shallow syntactic labels on the boundaries of ...

In this paper, an automatic method in converting a dependency parse tree into an equivalent phrase structure one, is introduced for the Persian language. In first step, a rule-based algorithm was designed. Then, Persian specific dependency-to-phrase structure conversion rules merged to the algorithm. Subsequently, the Persian dependency treebank with about 30,000 sentences was used as an input ...
