  2. 1. Transformation and Combination in Data-Driven Dependency Parcing

    Author : Jens Nilsson; Joakim Nivre; Ryan McDonald; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Natural Language Parsing; Dependency Parsing; Tree Transformation; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Computer and Information Sciences Computer Science; Data- och informationsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with automatic syntactic analysis of natural languagetext, also known as parsing. The parsing approach is data-driven, whichmeans that parsers are constructed by means of machine learning, lookingat training data in the form of annotated natural language sentences. The syntactic framework used in the thesis is dependency-based. READ MORE
