Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Lexical information, including surface word form and part-of-speech (POS) information, plays a crucial role when predicting ambiguous dependency relationships in dependency parsing. However, for resolving dependency ambiguities, surface word information may be too sparse, while POS information may be too coarse. Supertags, which are lexical templates that represent rich syntactic information, have been shown to provide effective features at an intermediate level on the coarse-to-fine scale. In this work, we present a supertag design framework that allows us to instantiate various supertag sets based on the dependency structures. Using this framework, we instantiate various supertag sets and utilize them as features in transition-based dependency parsing systems. Performing experiments on the Penn Treebank and Universal Dependencies data sets, we show that our supertags are effective for transition-based parsers in multilingual parsing as well as English parsing. The comparison of the results of the different supertag sets shows that it is crucial to incorporate the head directionality, head labels, and dependent possession information in supertags to improve the parser performance.
