Syntactic Nuclei in Dependency Parsing – A Multilingual Exploration (2021.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for syntactic dependency parsing assume words are elementary units that enter into dependency relations. |
| Approach: | They propose to use composition functions to make a transition-based dependency parser aware of the notion of nucleus. |
| Outcome: | The proposed concept of nucleus gives small but significant improvements in parsing accuracy on 12 languages. |
Contribution of Linguistic Typology to Universal Dependency Parsing: An Empirical Investigation (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | UD is a global initiative to create a standard annotation for the dependency syntax of human languages. |
| Approach: | They propose a typologically motivated transformation of UD that emphasizes information packaging over lexical semantics. |
| Outcome: | The proposed scheme differs from previous attempts to create a universal annotation for human languages. |
