SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS and ROBUST METHODS FOR NLP

Leonardo Lesmo

A robust Dependency Parser (including a morphological analyzer and a Part-of-Speech Tagger) has been tested on a corpus of about 40.000 words. It analyzes about 120 word per second.
The tests on the manually corrected treebank revealed an error rate (in terms of wrong attachments and wrong arc labels) of 16.7%. The parser also includes a preliminary treatment of traces, adopted for preserving the projectivity of the dependency trees.
