Dependency parsing resources for French: Converting acquired lexical functional grammar F-Structure annotations and parsing F-Structures directly
Recent years have seen considerable success in the generation of automatically obtained wide-coverage deep grammars for natural language processing, given reliable
and large CFG-like treebanks. For research within Lexical Functional Grammar framework, these deep grammars are
typically based on an extended PCFG parsing scheme from which dependencies are extracted. However, increasing success in statistical dependency parsing suggests that such deep grammar approaches to statistical parsing could be streamlined. We explore this novel approach to deep
grammar parsing within the framework of LFG in this paper, for French, showing that best results (an f-score of 69.46) for the established integrated architecture may be obtained for French
Universal Dependencies Parsing for Colloquial Singaporean English
Singlish can be interesting to the ACL community both linguistically as a
major creole based on English, and computationally for information extraction
and sentiment analysis of regional social media. We investigate dependency
parsing of Singlish by constructing a dependency treebank under the Universal
Dependencies scheme, and then training a neural network model by integrating
English syntactic knowledge into a state-of-the-art parser trained on the
Singlish treebank. Results show that English knowledge can lead to 25% relative
error reduction, resulting in a parser of 84.47% accuracies. To the best of our
knowledge, we are the first to use neural stacking to improve cross-lingual
dependency parsing on low-resource languages. We make both our annotation and
parser available for further research.Comment: Accepted by ACL 201
Parsing Thai Social Data: A New Challenge for Thai NLP
Dependency parsing (DP) is a task that analyzes text for syntactic structure
and relationship between words. DP is widely used to improve natural language
processing (NLP) applications in many languages such as English. Previous works
on DP are generally applicable to formally written languages. However, they do
not apply to informal languages such as the ones used in social networks.
Therefore, DP has to be researched and explored with such social network data.
In this paper, we explore and identify a DP model that is suitable for Thai
social network data. After that, we will identify the appropriate linguistic
unit as an input. The result showed that, the transition based model called,
improve Elkared dependency parser outperform the others at UAS of 81.42%.Comment: 7 Pages, 8 figures, to be published in The 14th International Joint
