A systematic comparison of methods for low-resource dependency parsing on genuinely low-resource languages
Parsers are available for only a handful of the world's languages, since they require lots of training data. How far can we get with just a small amount of training data? We systematically compare a set of simple strategies for improving low-resource parsers: data augmentation, which has not been tested before; cross-lingual training; and transliteration. Experimenting on three typologically diverse low-resource languages---North S\'ami, Galician, and Kazah---We find that (1) when only the low-resource treebank is available, data augmentation is very helpful; (2) when a related high-resource treebank is available, cross-lingual training is helpful and complements data augmentation; and (3) when the high-resource treebank uses a different writing system, transliteration into a shared orthographic spaces is also very helpful.

A Systematic Comparison of Syntactic Representations of Dependency Parsing
We compare the performance of a transition-based parser in regards to different annotation schemes. We pro-pose to convert some specific syntactic constructions observed in the universal dependency treebanks into a so-ca…
Dependency ParsingSystematic Investigation of Strategies Tailored for Low-Resource Settings for Low-Resource Dependency Parsing
In this work, we focus on low-resource dependency parsing for multiple languages. Several strategies are tailored to enhance performance in low-resource scenarios. While these are well-known to the community, it is not t…

We present a study on two key characteristics of human syntactic annotations: anchoring and agreement. Anchoring is a well known cognitive bias in human decision making, where judgments are drawn towards pre-existing val…

Dependency ParsingParsing in the absence of related languages: Evaluating low-resource dependency parsers on Tagalog
Cross-lingual and multilingual methods have been widely suggested as options for dependency parsing of low-resource languages; however, these typically require the use of annotated data in related high-resource languages…
