Character-level Annotation for Chinese Surface-Syntactic Universal Dependencies
Yixuan Li, G. Kim, Chuanming Dong · 2019
This paper presents a new schema to annotate Chinese Treebanks on the character level.The original Universal Dependencies (UD) and Surface-Syntactic Universal Dependencies (SUD) projects provide token-level resources with rich morphosyntactic language details.However, without any commonly accepted word definition for Chinese, the dependency parsing always faces the dilemma of word segmentation.Therefore we present a character-level annotation schema integrated into the existing Universal Dependencies schema as an extension.
