Efficient Sentence Parsing with Language Specific Features:A Case Study of Czech
Aleš Horák, Pavel Smrž · International Workshop/Conference on Parsing Technologies · 2001
The paper presents two optimalizations of standard parsing techniques applied to Czech as a representative of a free word order language with rich morphology. Our approach is based on features that take advantage of particular knowledge of language specific properties. The first method involves a special type of merging possible due to the agreement fulfillment. Another use of language specific features lies in the exploitation of verb valency frames for probabilistic ordering of parsing output.
