Zero-resource Dependency Parsing: Boosting Delexicalized Cross-lingual Transfer with Linguistic Knowledge

2016-12-01 · COLING 2016 12 · Lauriane Aufrant, Guillaume Wisniewski, Fran{\c{c}}ois Yvon

This paper studies cross-lingual transfer for dependency parsing, focusing on very low-resource settings where delexicalized transfer is the only fully automatic option. We show how to boost parsing performance by rewriting the source sentences so as to better match the linguistic regularities of the target language. We contrast a data-driven approach with an approach relying on linguistically motivated rules automatically extracted from the World Atlas of Language Structures. Our findings are backed up by experiments involving 40 languages. They show that both approaches greatly outperform the baseline, the knowledge-driven method yielding the best accuracies, with average improvements of +2.9 UAS, and up to +90 UAS (absolute) on some frequent PoS configurations.

We present our work on semi-supervised parsing of natural language sentences, focusing on multi-source crosslingual transfer of delexicalized dependency parsers. We first evaluate the influence of treebank annotation sty…

Delexicalized Cross-lingual Dependency Parsing for Xibe

2021-09-01 · RANLP 2021 9 · He Zhou, Sandra Kübler

Manually annotating a treebank is time-consuming and labor-intensive. We conduct delexicalized cross-lingual dependency parsing experiments, where we train the parser on one language and test on our target language. As o…

Lexicalized vs. Delexicalized Parsing in Low-Resource Scenarios

2017-09-01 · WS 2017 9 · Agnieszka Falenska, {\"O}zlem {\c{C}}etino{\u{g}}lu

We present a systematic analysis of lexicalized vs. delexicalized parsing in low-resource scenarios, and propose a methodology to choose one method over another under certain conditions. We create a set of simulation exp…
