The paper illustrates a new incremental method for enhancing treebanks, with particular emphasis on the extension of error patterns across different textual genres and registers. Impact and role of corrections have been assessed in a dependency parsing experiment carried out with four different parsers, whose results are promising. For both evaluation datasets, the performance of parsers increases, in terms of the standard LAS and UAS measures and of a more focused measure taking into account only relations involved in error patterns, and at the level of individual dependencies.","keywords":["Error Detection","Universal Dependency Treebanks","Syntactic parsing"],"pages":"1-7","url":"http:\/\/universaldependencies.org\/udw18\/PDFs\/39_Paper.pdf","volume":"","doi":"","editors_people":"","editors":[""],"published":"","publisher":"","issn":"","isbn":"978-1-948087-84-1","conference_name":"Universal Dependencies Workshop 2018 (UDW 2018)","conference_place":"Brussels","conference_date":"01\/11\/2018"},{"id":132200,"last_updated":"2023-11-06 19:33:14","id_people":366713,"institutes":["ILC"],"type":"journal_article","type_order":0,"type_people":"article","title":"State of the Art Language Technologies for Italian: The EVALITA 2014 Perspective","year":2015,"authors_people":"Attardi, Giuseppe; Basile, Valerio; Bosco, Cristina; Caselli, Tommaso; Dell'Orletta, Felice; Montemagni, Simonetta; Patti, Viviana; Simi, Maria; Sprugnoli, Rachele","authors_cnr":["Montemagni, Simonetta","Dell'Orletta, Felice"],"authors_cnr_id":["5595","14329"],"authors_cnr_institute":[""],"authors":["Attardi, G.","Basile, V.","Bosco, C.","Caselli, T.","Dell'Orletta, F.","Montemagni, S.","Patti, V.","Simi, M.","Sprugnoli, R."],"abstract":"Shared task evaluation campaigns represent a well established form of competitive evaluation, an important opportunity to propose and tackle new challenges for a specific research area and a way to foster the development of benchmarks, tools and resources.

The goal of this paper is to explore pros and cons of different strategies for generating SD annotated Italian texts to enrich the existing Italian Stanford Dependency Treebank (ISDT). This is done by comparing the performance of a statistical parser (DeSR) trained on a simpler resource (the augmented version of the Merged Italian Dependency Treebank or MIDT+) and whose output was automatically converted to SD, with the results of the parser directly trained on ISDT. Experiments carried out to test reliability and effectiveness of the two strategies show that the performance of a parser trained on the reduced dependencies repertoire, whose output can be easily converted to SD, is slightly higher than the performance of a parser directly trained on ISDT. A non-negligible advantage of the first strategy for generating SD annotated texts is that semi-automatic extensions of the training resource are more easily and consistently carried out with respect to a reduced dependency tagset. Preliminary experiments carried out for generating the collapsed and propagated SD representation are also reported.","keywords":["Italian Treebank","Harmonization and Merging of Resources","Stanford Dependencie s"],"pages":"","url":"http:\/\/www.lrec-conf.org\/proceedings\/lrec2014\/pdf\/818_Paper.pdf","volume":"","doi":"","editors_people":"Nicoletta Calzolari and Khalid Choukri and Thierry Declerck and Hrafn Loftsson and Bente Maegaard and Joseph Mariani and Asuncion Moreno and Jan Odijk and Stelios Piperidis","editors":["Calzolari, N.","Choukri, K.","Declerck, T.","Loftsson, H.","Maegaard, B.","Mariani, J.","Moreno, A.","Odijk, J.","Piperidis, S."],"published":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'14)","publisher":"European Language Resources Association ELRA (Paris, FRA)","issn":"","isbn":"978-2-9517408-8-4","conference_name":"Ninth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'14)","conference_place":"Reykjavik, Iceland","conference_date":"26-31 May 2014"},{"id":132057,"last_updated":"2015-04-23 23:20:46","id_people":329780,"institutes":["ILC"],"type":"conference_article","type_order":5,"type_people":"conferenceObject","title":"Converting Italian Treebanks: Towards an Italian Stanford Dependency Treebank","year":2013,"authors_people":"Bosco, Cristina; Montemagni, Simonetta; Simi, Maria","authors_cnr":["Montemagni, Simonetta"],"authors_cnr_id":["5595"],"authors_cnr_institute":[""],"authors":["Bosco, C.","Montemagni, S.","Simi, M."],"abstract":"The paper addresses the challenge of converting MIDT, an existing dependency-based Italian treebank resulting from the harmonization and merging of smaller resources, into the Stanford Dependencies annotation formalism, with the final aim of constructing a standard-compliant resource for the Italian language.
