ABSTRACT
Data-driven syntactic parsers are usually trained, tested and developed on web-news data. Little has been done to evaluate them on literary genres of different ages, which are still low-resource varieties in terms of syntactic annotation. In this paper, I will describe methodology and results concerning first experiments in testing two different kinds of dependency parsers on aesthetic writings by Schiller and F. Schlegel. First, I trained and tested the parsers on de-ud1.2, a treebank collecting German web-news texts. Second, I manually annotated excerpts by the two authors with syntactic metadata. Third, I tested the parsers on these excerpts, after training them on de-ud1.2

Treebanks are valuable linguistic resources that include the syntactic structure of a language sentence in addition to part-of-speech tags and morphological features. They are mainly utilized in modeling statistical parsers. Although the statistical ...
Undirected Dependency Parsing
Dependency parsers, which are widely used in natural language processing tasks, employ a representation of syntax in which the structure of sentences is expressed in the form of directed links dependencies between their words. In this article, we ...
Improving Telugu Dependency Parsing using Combinatory Categorial Grammar Supertags
We show that Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) supertags can improve Telugu dependency parsing. In this process, we first extract a CCG lexicon from the dependency treebank. Using both the CCG lexicon and the dependency treebank, we create a CCG ...
