Using hyperlinks to improve multilingual partial parsers
Syntactic annotation is costly and not available for the vast majority of the world{'}s languages. We show that sometimes we can do away with less labeled data by exploiting more readily available forms of mark-up. Specifically, we revisit an idea from Valentin Spitkovsky{'}s work (2010), namely that hyperlinks typically bracket syntactic constituents or chunks. We strengthen his results by showing that not only can hyperlinks help in low resource scenarios, exemplified here by Quechua, but learning from hyperlinks can also improve state-of-the-art NLP models for English newswire. We also present out-of-domain evaluation on English Ontonotes 4.0.

WikiBank: Using Wikidata to Improve Multilingual Frame-Semantic Parsing
Frame-semantic annotations exist for a tiny fraction of the world{'}s languages, Wikidata, however, links knowledge base triples to texts in many languages, providing a common, distant supervision signal for semantic par…
