In this paper, a new self-training method for domain adaptation is illustrated, where the selection of reliable parses is carried out by an unsupervised linguistically-driven algorithm, ULISSE. The method has been tested on biomedical texts with results showing a significant improvement with respect to considered baselines, which demonstrates its ability to capture both reliability of parses and domain-specificity of linguistic constructions.
