Treebanks for Various Languages

Arabic (ar)

Prague Arabic Dependency Treebank (PADT)

Versions

The CoNLL 2007 version reportedly improves over CoNLL 2006 in quality of morphological annotation. Both CoNLL versions miss important parts of the original PADT annotation (see below).

Obtaining and License

The original PADT 1.0 is distributed by the LDC under the catalogue number LDC2004T23. It is free for LDC members 2004, price for non-members is unknown (contact LDC). The license in short:

The CoNLL 2006 and 2007 versions are obtainable upon request under similar license terms. Their publication in the LDC together with the other CoNLL treebanks is being prepared.

PADT was created by members of the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (Ústav formální a aplikované lingvistiky, ÚFAL), Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (Matematicko-fyzikální fakulta), Charles University in Prague (Univerzita Karlova v Praze), Malostranské náměstí 25, Praha, CZ-11800, Czechia. The CoNLL conversion of the treebank was prepared by Otakar Smrž, one of the key authors of the original PADT.

Size

According to their website, the original PADT 1.0 contains 113,500 tokens annotated analytically. The CoNLL 2006 version contains 59752 tokens in 1606 sentences, yielding 37.21 tokens per sentence on average (CoNLL 2006 data split: 54379 tokens / 1460 sentences training, 5373 tokens / 146 sentences test). The CoNLL 2007 version contains 116,793 tokens in 3043 sentences, yielding 38.38 tokens per sentence on average (CoNLL 2007 data split: 111,669 tokens / 2912 sentences training, 5124 tokens / 131 sentences test).

As noted in (Nivre et al., 2007), “the parsing units in this treebank are in many cases larger than conventional sentences, which partly explains the high average number of tokens per sentence.”

Inside

The original PADT 1.0 is distributed in the FS format. The CoNLL versions are distributed in the CoNLL-X format. The original PADT contains more information than the CoNLL version. There is morphological annotation (tags and lemmas) both manual and by a tagger (while only manual is in CoNLL data), glosses etc. However, the most important piece of information that got lost during the conversion to CoNLL is the FS attribute called parallel. It distinguishes conjuncts from shared modifiers of coordination and thus the syntactic structure is incomplete without it.

Word forms and lemmas are vocalized, i.e. they contain diacritics for short vowels as well as consonant gemination and a few other things. The CoNLL 2006 version includes Buckwalter transliteration of the Arabic script (in the same column as Arabic, attached to the Arabic form/lemma with an underscore character).

Note that tokenization of Arabic typically includes splitting original words (inserting spaces between letters), not just separating punctuation from words. Example: وبالفالوجة = wabiālfālūjah = wa/CONJ + bi/PREP + AlfAlwjp/NOUN_PROP = and in al-Falujah. In PADT, conjunctions and prepositions are separate tokens and nodes.

The original PADT 1.0 uses 10-character positional morphological tags whose documentation is hard to find. The CoNLL 2006 version converts the tags to the three CoNLL columns, CPOS, POS and FEAT, most of the information being encoded as pipe-separated attribute-value assignments in FEAT. There should be a 1-1 mapping between the PADT positional tags and the CoNLL 2006 annotation. The CoNLL 2007 version uses a tag conversion different from CoNLL 2006. Both CoNLL distributions contain a README file with a brief description of the parts of speech and features. Use DZ Interset to inspect the two CoNLL tagsets. Also look at the Elixir FM online interface for a later development of the morphological analyzer created along with PADT.

The guidelines for syntactic annotation are documented in the PADT annotation manual (only peculiarities of Arabic are documented, otherwise it is referenced to the annotation manual for the Czech treebank). The list and brief description of syntactic tags (dependency relation labels) can be found in (Smrž, Šnaidauf and Zemánek, 2002).

Parsing

Nonprojectivities in PADT are rare. Only 431 of the 116,793 tokens in the CoNLL 2007 version are attached nonprojectively (0.37%).

The results of the CoNLL 2006 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Buchholz and Marsi, 2006). The evaluation procedure was non-standard because it excluded punctuation tokens. These are the best results for Arabic:

Parser (Authors) LAS UAS
MST (McDonald et al.) 66.91 79.34
Basis (O'Neil) 66.71 78.54
Malt (Nivre et al.) 66.71 77.52
Edinburgh (Riedel et al.) 66.65 78.62

The results of the CoNLL 2007 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Nivre et al., 2007). The evaluation procedure was changed to include punctuation tokens. These are the best results for Arabic:

Parser (Authors) LAS UAS
Malt (Nilsson et al.) 76.52 85.81

BulTreeBank (BTB)

Versions

The original BTB is based on HPSG (head-driven phrase-structure grammar). The CoNLL version contains only the dependency information encoded in HPSG BulTreeBank.

Obtaining and License

Only the CoNLL version seems to be distributed but you may ask the creators about the HPSG version. For the dependency version, print the license, sign, scan, send to Kiril Simov (kivs (at) bultreebank (dot) org) and wait for the data. The license in short:

BTB was created by members of the Linguistic Modelling Department (Секция Лингвистично моделиране), Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (Българска академия на науките), Ул. Акад. Г. Бончев, Бл. 25 А, 1113 София, Bulgaria.

Unknown (“A set of Bulgarian sentences marked-up with detailed syntactic information. These sentences are mainly extracted from authentic Bulgarian texts. They are chosen with regards two criteria. First, they cover the variety of syntactic structures of Bulgarian. Second, they show the statistical distribution of these phenomena in real texts.”) At least part of it is probably news (Novinar, Sega, Standart).

Size

The CoNLL 2006 version contains 196,151 tokens in 13221 sentences, yielding 14.84 tokens per sentence on average (CoNLL 2006 data split: 190,217 tokens / 12823 sentences training, 5934 tokens / 398 sentences test).

Inside

The original morphosyntactic tags have been converted to fit into the three columns (CPOS, POS and FEAT) of the CoNLL format. There should be a 1-1 mapping between the BTB positional tags and the CoNLL 2006 annotation. Use DZ Interset to inspect the CoNLL tagset.

The morphological analysis does not include lemmas. The morphosyntactic tags have been assigned (probably) manually.

The guidelines for syntactic annotation are documented in the other technical report. The CoNLL distribution contains the BulTreeBankReadMe.html file with a brief description of the syntactic tags (dependency relation labels).

Hyderabad Dependency Treebank (HyDT-Bangla)

Versions

There has been no official release of the treebank yet. There have been two as-is sample releases for the purposes of the NLP tools contests in parsing Indian languages, attached to the ICON 2009 and 2010 conferences.

Obtaining and License

There is no standard distribution channel for the treebank after the ICON 2010 evaluation period. Inquire at the LTRC (ltrc (at) iiit (dot) ac (dot) in) about the possibility of getting the data. The ICON 2010 license in short:

HyDT-Bangla is being created by members of the Language Technologies Research Centre, International Institute of Information Technology, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, 500032, India.

Size

HyDT-Bangla shows dependencies between chunks, not words. The node/tree ratio is thus much lower than in other treebanks. The ICON 2009 version came with a data split into three parts: training, development and test:

Part Sentences Chunks Ratio
Training 980 6449 6.58
Development 150 811 5.41
Test 150 961 6.41
TOTAL 1280 8221 6.42

The ICON 2010 version came with a data split into three parts: training, development and test:

Part Sentences Chunks Ratio Words Ratio
Training 979 6440 6.58 10305 10.52
Development 150 812 5.41 1196 7.97
Test 150 961 6.41 1350 9.00
TOTAL 1279 8213 6.42 12851 10.04

I have counted the sentences and chunks. The number of words comes from (Husain et al., 2010). Note that the paper gives the number of training sentences as 980 (instead of 979), which is a mistake. The last training sentence has the id 980 but there is no sentence with id 418.

Apparently the training-development-test data split was more or less identical in both years, except for the minor discrepancies (number of training sentences and development chunks).

Inside

The text uses the WX encoding of Indian letters. If we know what the original script is (Bengali in this case) we can map the WX encoding to the original characters in UTF-8. WX uses English letters so if there was embedded English (or other string using Latin letters) it will probably get lost during the conversion.

The CoNLL format contains only the chunk heads. The native SSF format shows the other words in the chunk, too, but it does not capture intra-chunk dependency relations. This is an example of a multi-word chunk:

3       ((      NP      <fs af='rumAla,n,,sg,,d,0,0' head="rumAla" drel=k2:VGF name=NP3>
3.1     ekatA   QC      <fs af='eka,num,,,,,,'>
3.2     ledisa  JJ      <fs af='ledisa,unk,,,,,,'>
3.3     rumAla  NN      <fs af='rumAla,n,,sg,,d,0,0' name="rumAla">
        ))

In the CoNLL format, the CPOS column contains the chunk label (e.g. NP = noun phrase) and the POS column contains the part of speech of the chunk head.

Occasionally there are NULL nodes that do not correspond to any surface chunk or token. They represent ellided participants.

The syntactic tags (dependency relation labels) are karaka relations, i.e. deep syntactic roles according to the Pāṇinian grammar. There are separate versions of the treebank with fine-grained and coarse-grained syntactic tags.

According to (Husain et al., 2010), in the ICON 2010 version, the chunk tags, POS tags and inter-chunk dependencies (topology + tags) were annotated manually. The rest (lemma, morphosyntactic features, headword of chunk) was marked automatically.

Note: There have been cycles in the Hindi part of HyDT but no such problem occurs in the Bengali part.

Parsing

Nonprojectivities in HyDT-Bangla are not frequent. Only 78 of the 7252 chunks in the training+development ICON 2010 version are attached nonprojectively (1.08%).

The results of the ICON 2009 NLP tools contest have been published in (Husain, 2009). There were two evaluation rounds, the first with the coarse-grained syntactic tags, the second with the fine-grained syntactic tags. To reward language independence, only systems that parsed all three languages were officially ranked. The following table presents the Bengali/coarse-grained results of the four officially ranked systems, and the best Bengali-only* system.

The results of the ICON 2010 NLP tools contest have been published in (Husain et al., 2010), page 6. These are the best results for Bengali with fine-grained syntactic tags:

Catalan (ca)

There is one treebank versions of which were known in different times under different names:

Versions

The dependency treebank Cat3LB was extracted automatically from an earlier constituent-based annotation (see Montserrat Civit, Ma. Antònia Martí, Núria Bufí: Cat3LB and Cast3LB: From Constituents to Dependencies. In: T. Salakoski et al. (eds.): FinTAL 2006, LNAI 4139, pp. 141–152, 2006, Springer, Berlin / Heidelberg)

Obtaining and License

The AnCora-CA corpus ought to be freely downloadable from its website. The download will not work for unregistered and not signed in users. The website offers creating new account but it is not automatic, one has to wait for approval.

Republication of the two CoNLL versions in LDC is planned but it has not happenned yet.

The CoNLL 2007 license in short:

AnCora-CA was created by members of the Centre de Llenguatge i Computació (CLiC), Universitat de Barcelona, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 585, E-08007 Barcelona, Spain.

Size

The CoNLL 2007 version contains 435,860 tokens in 15125 sentences, yielding 28.82 tokens per sentence on average (CoNLL 2007 data split: 430,844 tokens / 14958 sentences training, 5016 tokens / 167 sentences test).

The CoNLL 2009 version contains 496,672 tokens in 16786 sentences, yielding 29.59 tokens per sentence on average (CoNLL 2009 data split: 390,302 tokens / 13200 sentences training, 53015 tokens / 1724 sentences development, 53355 tokens / 1862 sentences test).

Inside

The original morphosyntactic tags (EAGLES?) have been converted to fit into the three columns (CPOS, POS and FEAT) columns of the CoNLL 2006/7 format, resp. the two columns (POS and FEAT) of the CoNLL 2009 format. Note that the missing CPOS column is not the only difference between the two conversion schemes. Feature names and values in the FEAT column are different, too.

The morphosyntactic tags have been disambiguated manually. The CoNLL 2009 version also contains automatically disambiguated tags.

Multi-word expressions have been collapsed into one token, using underscore as the joining character. This includes named entities (e.g. La_Garrotxa, Ajuntament_de_Manresa, dilluns_4_de_juny) and prepositional compounds (pel_que_fa_al, d'_acord_amb, la_seva, a_més_de). Empty (underscore) tokens have been inserted to represent missing subjects (Catalan is a pro-drop language).

Parsing

Nonprojectivities in AnCora-CA are very rare. Only 487 of the 435,860 tokens in the CoNLL 2007 version are attached nonprojectively (0.11%). In the CoNLL 2009 version, there are no nonprojectivities at all.

The results of the CoNLL 2007 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Nivre et al., 2007). The evaluation procedure was changed to include punctuation tokens. These are the best results for Catalan:

Versions

The CoNLL 2006 version is based on PDT 1.0. The CoNLL 2007 and 2009 versions are based on PDT 2.0.

Obtaining and License

The original PDT 1.0 and 2.0 is distributed by the LDC under the catalogue numbers LDC2001T10 and LDC2006T01. It is free for LDC members 2001 and 2006, price for non-members is unknown (contact LDC). The license in short:

The CoNLL 2006, 2007 and 2009 versions are obtainable upon request under similar license terms. Their publication in the LDC together with the other CoNLL treebanks is being prepared.

PDT was created by members of the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (Ústav formální a aplikované lingvistiky, ÚFAL), Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (Matematicko-fyzikální fakulta), Charles University in Prague (Univerzita Karlova v Praze), Malostranské náměstí 25, Praha, CZ-11800, Czechia. The CoNLL 2006 conversion of the treebank was prepared by Yuval Krymolowski; the CoNLL 2007 and 2009 conversions were prepared by ÚFAL (Zdeněk Žabokrtský and Jan Štěpánek).

Size

All distributions of PDT are officially split to training, development (d-test) and test (e-test) data sets. PDT 2.0 contains data that are annotated only morphologically (M-layer), those that are annotated both morphologically and analytically (surface syntax; M+A layers), and the smallest subset is also annotated tectogrammatically (M+A+T layers). The statistics in this section cover the M+A subset, which is relevant for surface dependency parsing.

Size of CoNLL 2007 data was limited because some teams of CoNLL 2006 complained that they did not have enough time and resources to train the larger models. For CoNLL 2009, only that part of PDT was selected that contained also tectogrammatical annotation, because the 2009 task included semantic learning.

Parts of the following table have been taken from (Zeman 2004, page 21). Only non-empty sentences counted (e.g. PDT 1.0 had 81614 sentence tags but only 73088 non-empty ones).

Inside

PDT 1.0 is distributed in the CSTS format. PDT 2.0 uses the PML format. CoNLL 2006 and 2007 uses the CoNLL-X format; CoNLL 2009 format is slightly different (number and meaning of columns). Unlike the other formats, the CSTS format used the ISO-8859-2 character encoding.

The CSTS format (PDT 0.5 and 1.0) contains morphological annotation (lemmas and tags) both manual and by two taggers. The CoNLL 2009 version contains manual and one automatic disambiguation. The official distribution of PDT 2.0 and the CoNLL 2006 and 2007 versions contain only manual morphology.

The original PDT uses 15-character positional morphological tags. The CoNLL versions convert the tags to the two/three CoNLL columns, CPOS, POS and FEAT. In addition, the CoNLL versions contain the Sem feature, which is derived from the tags attached to lemma in PDT (see Hana and Zeman, 2005).

See above for documentation of the morphological tags. All CoNLL distributions contain a README file with a brief description of the parts of speech and features. Use DZ Interset to inspect the PDT and the CoNLL tagsets.

The guidelines for syntactic annotation are documented in the PDT annotation manual.

Parsing

PDT is a mildly nonprojective treebank. 8351 of the 437,020 tokens in the CoNLL 2007 version are attached nonprojectively (1.91%).

There is an online summary of known results in Czech parsing.

The results of the CoNLL 2006 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Buchholz and Marsi, 2006). The evaluation procedure was non-standard because it excluded punctuation tokens. These are the best results for Czech:

Basis (O'Neil) 76.60 85.58
Malt (Nivre et al.) 78.42 84.80
Nara (Yuchang Cheng) 76.24 83.40

The results of the CoNLL 2007 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Nivre et al., 2007). The evaluation procedure was changed to include punctuation tokens. These are the best results for Czech:

The two Malt parser results of 2007 (single malt and blended) are described in (Hall et al., 2007) and the details about the parser configuration are described here.

The results of the CoNLL 2009 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Hajič et al., 2009). Unlabeled attachment score was not published. These are the best results for Czech:

Danish Dependency Treebank (DDT)

Versions

The original DDT is based on Discontinuous Grammar. It natively encodes dependencies and other relations such as anaphora. The CoNLL version contains only the dependency relations.

Obtaining and License

DDT is available under the GNU General Public License version 2. Download the original distribution (DTAG + TIGER-XML formats) from http://www.buch-kromann.dk/matthias/treebank/. Download the CoNLL 2006 conversion from http://ilk.uvt.nl/conll/free_data.html. The license in short:

DDT was created by members of the Department of International Language Studies and Computational Linguistics, Copenhagen Business School (Handelshøjskolen i København), Dalgas Have 15, DK-2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark. The underlying PAROLE corpus (morphologically annotated) was created by the Society for Danish Language and Literature (Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab), Christians Brygge 1, DK-1219 København K, Denmark.

References

Domain

Unknown (the underlying PAROLE corpus “consists of quotations of 150-250 words from a wide range of randomly selected linguistically representative Danish texts from 1983-1992.”)

Size

The CoNLL 2006 version contains 100,238 tokens in 5512 sentences, yielding 18.19 tokens per sentence on average (CoNLL 2006 data split: 94386 tokens / 5190 sentences training, 5852 tokens / 322 sentences test).

Inside

The original morphosyntactic tags have been converted to fit into the three columns (CPOS, POS and FEAT) of the CoNLL format. There should be a 1-1 mapping between the DDT positional tags and the CoNLL 2006 annotation. Use DZ Interset to inspect the CoNLL tagset.

The morphological analysis in the CoNLL 2006 version does not include lemmas (the original DTAG version does contain them). The morphosyntactic tags have been assigned (probably) manually.

Some multi-word expressions have been collapsed into one token, using underscore as the joining character. This includes adverbially used prepositional phrases (e.g. i_lørdags = on Saturdays) but not named entities.

Parsing

Nonprojectivities in DDT are not frequent. Only 988 of the 100,238 tokens in the CoNLL 2006 version are attached nonprojectively (0.99%).

The results of the CoNLL 2006 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Buchholz and Marsi, 2006). The evaluation procedure was non-standard because it excluded punctuation tokens. These are the best results for Danish:

References

Domain

Mostly newswire (Frankfurter Rundschau).

Size

According to their website, the TIGER Treebank version 1 contains approximately 700,000 tokens in 40,000 sentences. Version 2.1 contains approximately 900,000 tokens in 50,000 sentences.

The CoNLL 2006 version contains 705,304 tokens in 39573 sentences, yielding 17.82 tokens per sentence on average (CoNLL 2006 data split: 699,610 tokens / 39216 sentences training, 5694 tokens / 357 sentences test).

The CoNLL 2009 version contains 712,332 tokens in 40020 sentences, yielding 17.80 tokens per sentence on average (CoNLL 2009 data split: 648,677 tokens / 36020 sentences training, 32033 tokens / 2000 sentences development, 31622 tokens / 2000 sentences test).

Inside

All versions contain semi-automatic part of speech tags (Stuttgart-Tübingen Tagset, STTS) and syntactic structure. Lemmas and morphosyntactic features are available only for newer versions (TIGER Treebank version 2 and onwards, and CoNLL 2009). The parts of speech are heavily context-dependent, e.g. many words can be used both substantively (pronouns) and attributively (determiners), which is distinguished by different POS tags.

It is not clear what the semi-automatic annotation means (probably first auto-tagging, then manual correction?) and whether it also applies to the morphosyntactic annotation. The CoNLL 2009 version also contains automatically disambiguated lemmas, tags and features.

The original treebank is phrase-based. The dependencies in the CoNLL versions must have thus been drawn using a head-selection procedure. Besides CoNLL data, the TIGER project also provides a subset of the TIGER Treebank in a dependency format.

Parsing

TIGER is a mildly nonprojective treebank. 15875 of the 680,710 tokens in the CoNLL 2009 training+development datasets are attached nonprojectively (2.33%).

The results of the CoNLL 2006 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Buchholz and Marsi, 2006). The evaluation procedure was non-standard because it excluded punctuation tokens. These are the best results for German:

Versions

Obtaining and License

There does not seem to be any regular distribution channel for the Greek Dependency Treebank. The CoNLL 2007 version had a restricted license for the duration of the shared task only. Republication of the CoNLL version in LDC is planned but it has not happenned yet. In the meantime, one can ask Prokopis Prokopidis (prokopis (at) ilsp (dot) gr) about availability of the corpus.

GDT was created by members of the Institute for Language and Speech Processing (Ινστιτούτο Επεξεργασίας του Λόγου, ILSP/ΙΕΛ), Επιδαύρου & Αρτέμιδος 6, Παράδεισος Αμαρουσίου, GR-15125 Αθήνα, Greece.

Domain

Mixed (“GDT consists of randomly selected textual fragments and texts in three domains: politics (current affairs, manual transcripts and minutes of European parliamentary sessions), health, and travel.”)

Size

The CoNLL 2007 version contains 70223 tokens in 2902 sentences, yielding 24.20 tokens per sentence on average (CoNLL 2007 data split: 65419 tokens / 2705 sentences training, 4804 tokens / 197 sentences test).

Inside

The syntactic annotation style and the tagset for dependency relations (analytical functions) in GDT has been modeled after the Prague Dependency Treebank.

Nonprojectivities in GDT are not frequent. Only 823 of the 70223 tokens in the CoNLL 2007 version are attached nonprojectively (1.17%).

The results of the CoNLL 2007 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Nivre et al., 2007). The evaluation procedure was changed to include punctuation tokens. These are the best results for Greek:

Penn Treebank

Versions

Obtaining and License

The original Penn Treebank is distributed by the LDC under the catalogue number LDC99T42. It is free for LDC members 1999, price for non-members is unknown (contact LDC). The license in short:

The CoNLL 2007, 2008 and 2009 versions are also licensed by the LDC and LDC members can keep them after the shared task. Those who have not participated in the shared task may inquire at the LDC about the availability of the datasets. Their republication in LDC is planned but it has not happenned yet.

The Penn Treebank was created by members of the Department of Computer and Information Science (CIS), School of Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, Levine Hall, 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6309, USA. The constituents-to-dependencies CoNLL 2007 conversion of the treebank was prepared by Ryan McDonald.

Size

CoNLL 2007: Wall Street Journal part of the Penn Treebank, sections 2-11 used for training, a subset of section 23 for testing.

All distributions of PDT are officially split to training, development (d-test) and test (e-test) data sets. PDT 2.0 contains data that are annotated only morphologically (M-layer), those that are annotated both morphologically and analytically (surface syntax; M+A layers), and the smallest subset is also annotated tectogrammatically (M+A+T layers). The statistics in this section cover the M+A subset, which is relevant for surface dependency parsing.

Size of CoNLL 2007 data was limited because some teams of CoNLL 2006 complained that they did not have enough time and resources to train the larger models. For CoNLL 2009, only that part of PDT was selected that contained also tectogrammatical annotation, because the 2009 task included semantic learning.

Parts of the following table have been taken from (Zeman 2004, page 21). Only non-empty sentences counted (e.g. PDT 1.0 had 81614 sentence tags but only 73088 non-empty ones).

Inside

CoNLL 2007: Many function tags were removed from the non-terminals in the phrase-structure representation. The phrase structures were converted to dependency structures using the procedure described in Richard Johansson, Pierre Nugues: Extended constituent-to-dependency conversion for English. In: Proceedings of the 16th Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics (NODALIDA), pp. 105-112, Tartu, Estonia, 2007.

PDT 1.0 is distributed in the CSTS format. PDT 2.0 uses the PML format. CoNLL 2006 and 2007 uses the CoNLL-X format; CoNLL 2009 format is slightly different (number and meaning of columns). Unlike the other formats, the CSTS format used the ISO-8859-2 character encoding.

The CSTS format (PDT 0.5 and 1.0) contains morphological annotation (lemmas and tags) both manual and by two taggers. The CoNLL 2009 version contains manual and one automatic disambiguation. The official distribution of PDT 2.0 and the CoNLL 2006 and 2007 versions contain only manual morphology.

The original PDT uses 15-character positional morphological tags. The CoNLL versions convert the tags to the two/three CoNLL columns, CPOS, POS and FEAT. In addition, the CoNLL versions contain the Sem feature, which is derived from the tags attached to lemma in PDT (see Hana and Zeman, 2005).

See above for documentation of the morphological tags. All CoNLL distributions contain a README file with a brief description of the parts of speech and features. Use DZ Interset to inspect the PDT and the CoNLL tagsets.

The guidelines for syntactic annotation are documented in the PDT annotation manual.

Parsing

PDT is a mildly nonprojective treebank. 8351 of the 437,020 tokens in the CoNLL 2007 version are attached nonprojectively (1.91%).

There is an online summary of known results in Czech parsing.

The results of the CoNLL 2006 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Buchholz and Marsi, 2006). The evaluation procedure was non-standard because it excluded punctuation tokens. These are the best results for Czech:

Parser (Authors) LAS UAS
MST (McDonald et al.) 80.18 87.30
Basis (O'Neil) 76.60 85.58
Malt (Nivre et al.) 78.42 84.80
Nara (Yuchang Cheng) 76.24 83.40

The results of the CoNLL 2007 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Nivre et al., 2007). The evaluation procedure was changed to include punctuation tokens. These are the best results for Czech:

Parser (Authors) LAS UAS
Nakagawa 80.19 86.28
Carreras 78.60 85.16
Titov et al. 77.94 84.19
Malt (Nilsson et al.) 77.98 83.59
Attardi et al. 77.37 83.40
Malt (Hall et al.) 77.22 82.35

The two Malt parser results of 2007 (single malt and blended) are described in (Hall et al., 2007) and the details about the parser configuration are described here.

The results of the CoNLL 2009 shared task are available online. They have been published in (Hajič et al., 2009). Unlabeled attachment score was not published. These are the best results for Czech:

Parser (Authors) LAS
Merlo (Gesmundo et al.) 80.38
Bohnet 80.11
Che et al. 80.01
