7 3 / 39 segmentation: for some languages, words do not always correspond to ideal input tokens for parsing: multi-word expressions, syncretism morphology: how do we integrate morphology into the parsing step? lexicon: how do we cope with lower type/token ratio? language/annotation scheme: are some languages harder to parse, or is it the annotation scheme? language independent parsing?

8 3 / 39 segmentation: for some languages, words do not always correspond to ideal input tokens for parsing: multi-word expressions, syncretism morphology: how do we integrate morphology into the parsing step? lexicon: how do we cope with lower type/token ratio? language/annotation scheme: are some languages harder to parse, or is it the annotation scheme? language independent parsing?

9 4 / 39 and Question How do we integrate morphology into the parsing process?

10 5 / 39 and morphologically rich languages need morphology for parsing e.g., in German, case is indicator of grammatical func. of NPs morphological information can be attached to POS tags in pipeline (parsing on top of POS tags), information can be used by parser

12 7 / 39 Question What exactly is the effect of varying morphological granularity on POS tags on both POS tagging and parsing?

13 7 / 39 Question What exactly is the effect of varying morphological granularity on POS tags on both POS tagging and parsing? How well do the different POS taggers work with tagsets of a varying level of morphological granularity? Do the differences in POS tagger performance translate into similar differences in parsing quality?

27 13 / 39 Further evaluation We manually checked the parser outputs. sometimes helps, sometimes not. can lead to correct grammatical function label (e.g. case) can lead to over-differentiation of grammatical function label (cf. PP attachment)

28 Further evaluation We manually checked the parser outputs. sometimes helps, sometimes not. can lead to correct grammatical function label (e.g. case) can lead to over-differentiation of grammatical function label (cf. PP attachment) Interaction between morphology and tree depth Comparison STTS vs. STTSmorph: substructures too flat in TüBa-D/Z and too hierarchical in TiGer confirmed by number of edges: TiGer: more edges in STTSmorph than in STTS TüBa-D/Z: more edges in STTS than in STTSmorph 13 / 39

29 14 / 39 What did We Learn? POS tagging is easier with less granular tagset amount of morphology for parsing needs to be just right even gold case is not useful for parsing, need different mechanisms for integrating case into parse morphology seems to influence depth of trees in parser output

30 15 / 39 Further Work Versley & Rehbein (2009) integrate subcategorization into constituent parsing Seeker & Kuhn (2013) use case as filter in dependency parsing they show that solution needs to be language dependent

31 16 / 39 Hard Language or Hard? Question If a parser performs worse on language A than on language B, does that means A is more difficult than B, or is the difference in the annotation schemes?

32 17 / 39 Comparing German Treebanks: NEGRA/TIGER vs. TüBa-D/Z differences: TüBa-D/Z: more structure in phrases, topological fields, no traces, no empty categories NEGRA: ver flat phrases, more structure on S level, crossing branches approach: make TüBa-D/Z more similar to NEGRA flatten phrase structure delete unary nodes

33 18 / 39 A NEGRA Tree In the foyer of the town hall, the history of research on the Hochheimer Spiegel is presented next to the trove.

34 19 / 39 A TüBa-D/Z Tree The car convoy of the visitors of the rehearsal goes along a street, which is even today called Lagerstraße.

40 22 / 39 Making NEGRA More Similar to TüBa-D/Z cr. br. LR LP F-score % not parsed NEGRA NE field TüBa Tü NU Tü flat Tü fl N

41 23 / 39 What did We Learn? considerable differences between treebanks unclear whether annotation scheme, evaluation metric, differences in text unary nodes, more structure in phrases, and topological fields improve results more structure provides more coverage, but also more chances to make mistakes

42 24 / 39 Further Work Rehbein & van Genabith (2007): similar experiments, different results possible explanations: different data sets (shorter sentences, different split) evaluation metric favors trees with high number of nodes Kübler et al. (2008): extend work, evaluation with leaf-ancestor (LA) & on converted dependency representation: TIGER better than TüBa-D/Z BUT: LA artificially high BUT: conversion is lossy; loss on parsing structures unknown

43 25 / 39 Question What can we learn from a shared task scenario with 9 languages with aligned constituent and dependency representations?

44 26 / 39 Goals of the s Clear view on the state-of-the-art regardless of the framework (constituency or dependency) in a realistic parsing scenario with the most accurate evaluation protocol we could reasonably set up on as many MRLs as possible Trying to asses: what are the remaining challenges... in parsing MRLs in evaluating them

45 Data Sets 9 Languages Semitic: Arabic, Hebrew Romance: French Germanic: German, Swedish Isolated: Basque, Korean Uralic: Hungarian Slavic: Polish Available in two syntactic representations Constituents (ptb) and Dependency structures (conll) aligned at all levels (token, POS, sentence) containing at least the same morph information available with gold and predicted morphology Training sets: full and reduced (5k sent.) size 27 / 39

46 28 / 39 Evaluation Protocol 3 Scenarios Gold: provide unambiguous gold morphological provided: segmentation, POS tags, and morphological features Predicted: provided: disambiguated morphological segmentation; unknown: POS tags and morphological features Raw: provided: morphologically ambiguous input; unknown: morphological segmentation + features, POS tags Note, for all languages but Arabic and Hebrew: RAW = Predicted

47 29 / 39 Evaluation Protocol (2) Evaluation Metrics operating in different dimensions Cross-Parser Evaluation in Gold/Predicted scenarios constituent: Evalb Labeled F-score LeafAncestor s macro averaged accuracy dependency: Eval07 Labeled Attachment Scores also: MWE evaluation scores (for French on dep. structures) Cross-Parser Evaluation in Raw Scenarios Standard metrics not applicable with non-gold tokenization. Instead: TedEval s labeled accuracy (Tsarfaty et al, 2012) on sentences of length 70 tokens

48 30 / 39 Evaluation Protocol (3) Evaluation Metrics Operating in Different Dimensions (2) Cross-Framework Evaluation compare results by dep. and const. parser use unlabeled TedEval metric: internally converts all representation types into a normalized function tree Cross-Language Evaluation compare parsers for same representation type across different languages reasonable approximation: unlabeled TedEval metric
