Testing the Effect of Morphological Disambiguation in Dependency Parsing of Basque
Kepa Bengoetxea, Arantza Casillas, Koldo Gojenola · 2011
This paper presents a set of experiments performed on parsing Basque, a morphologically rich and agglutinative language, studying the effect of using the morphological analyzer for Basque together with the morphological disambiguation module, in contrast to using the gold standard tags taken from the treebank. The objective is to obtain a first estimate of the effect of errors in morphological analysis and disambiguation on the parsers. We tested two freely available and state of the art dependency parser generators, MaltParser, and MST, which represent the two dominant approaches in data-driven dependency parsing. 1
