SUD or Surface-Syntactic Universal Dependencies: An annotation scheme near-isomorphic to UD
Kim Gerdes, Bruno Guillaume, Sylvain Kahane, Guy Perrier · 2018
This article proposes a surface-syntactic annotation scheme called SUD that is near-isomorphic to the Universal Dependencies (UD) annotation scheme while following distributional criteria for defining the dependency tree structure and the naming of the syntactic functions.Rule-based graph transformation grammars allow for a bi-directional transformation of UD into SUD.The back-and-forth transformation can serve as an error-mining tool to assure the intralanguage and inter-language coherence of the UD treebanks.
