| 18:15 | Concluding remarks |
Statistical parsers show wide variation in accuracy when applied
to typologically different languages, suggesting that current
parsing models make assumptions about syntactic structure that do
not hold universally. As a long-term goal for parsing research I
propose that we should seek to construct a universal parser,
where knowledge of linguistic universals is built into the model
and typological parameters are learned from data, inspired by the
way humans acquire language. In this talk, I will present three
pieces of work that are in different ways motivated by this
long-term vision. First, I will review a recent study of joint
morphological and syntactic disambiguation for morphologically
rich languages. Second, I will present an ongoing project aiming
to develop a universal standard for dependency annotation.
Finally, I will speculate on how this universal annotation can be
used to advance the state of the art in dependency parsing towards
the goal of realizing a truly universal parser.
