Relational Realizational Parsing

Reut Tsarfaty

In this talk I present a probabilistic generative model for joint morphological and syntactic parsing. The formal model is defined in language independent terms and is based on typological principles, while the statistical learning component gathers language specific information from linguistically annotated corpora. We present parsing experiments using the acquired statistical models on three, typologically different, languages, and show that the parsing results are on a par with, or better than, language-specific or task-specific implementations.
