Changes in version 1.1:
1. Universal Dependencies tagset instead of the older and smaller Google Universal POS tagset.
2. SVM classifier trained on Universal Dependencies 1.2 instead of HamleDT 2.0.
3. Balto-Slavic languages, Germanic languages and Romance languages were tagged by classifier trained only on the respective group of languages. Other languages were tagged by a classifier trained on all available languages. The "c7" combination from version 1.0 is no longer used.
HamleDT (HArmonized Multi-LanguagE Dependency Treebank) is a compilation of existing dependency treebanks (or dependency conversions of other treebanks), transformed so that they all conform to the same annotation style. This version uses Universal Dependencies as the common annotation style.
Update (November 1017): for a current collection of harmonized dependency treebanks, we recommend using the Universal Dependencies (UD). All of the corpora that are distributed in HamleDT in full are also part of the UD project; only some corpora from the Patch group (where HamleDT provides only the harmonizing scripts but not the full corpus data) are available in HamleDT but not in UD.
Trained models for UDPipe used to produce our final submission to the Vardial 2017 CLP shared task (https://bitbucket.org/hy-crossNLP/vardial2017). The SK model was trained on CS data, the HR model on SL data, and the SV model on a concatenation of DA and NO data. The scripts and commands used to create the models are part of separate submission (http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-1970).
The models were trained with UDPipe version 3e65d69 from 3rd Jan 2017, obtained from
https://github.com/ufal/udpipe -- their functionality with newer or older versions of UDPipe is not guaranteed.
We list here the Bash command sequences that can be used to reproduce our results submitted to VarDial 2017. The input files must be in CoNLLU format. The models only use the form, UPOS, and Universal Features fields (SK only uses the form). You must have UDPipe installed. The feats2FEAT.py script, which prunes the universal features, is bundled with this submission.
SK -- tag and parse with the model:
udpipe --tag --parse sk-translex.v2.norm.feats07.w2v.trainonpred.udpipe sk-ud-predPoS-test.conllu
A slightly better after-deadline model (sk-translex.v2.norm.Case-feats07.w2v.trainonpred.udpipe), which we mention in the accompanying paper, is also included. It is applied in the same way (udpipe --tag --parse sk-translex.v2.norm.Case-feats07.w2v.trainonpred.udpipe sk-ud-predPoS-test.conllu).
HR -- prune the Features to keep only Case and parse with the model:
python3 feats2FEAT.py Case < hr-ud-predPoS-test.conllu | udpipe --parse hr-translex.v2.norm.Case.w2v.trainonpred.udpipe
NO -- put the UPOS annotation aside, tag Features with the model, merge with the left-aside UPOS annotation, and parse with the model (this hassle is because UDPipe cannot be told to keep UPOS and only change Features):
cut -f1-4 no-ud-predPoS-test.conllu > tmp
udpipe --tag no-translex.v2.norm.tgttagupos.srctagfeats.Case.w2v.udpipe no-ud-predPoS-test.conllu | cut -f5- | paste tmp - | sed 's/^\t$//' | udpipe --parse no-translex.v2.norm.tgttagupos.srctagfeats.Case.w2v.udpipe
Tools and scripts used to create the cross-lingual parsing models submitted to VarDial 2017 shared task (https://bitbucket.org/hy-crossNLP/vardial2017), as described in the linked paper. The trained UDPipe models themselves are published in a separate submission (https://lindat.mff.cuni.cz/repository/xmlui/handle/11234/1-1971).
For each source (SS, e.g. sl) and target (TT, e.g. hr) language,
you need to add the following into this directory:
- treebanks (Universal Dependencies v1.4):
SS-ud-train.conllu
TT-ud-predPoS-dev.conllu
- parallel data (OpenSubtitles from Opus):
OpenSubtitles2016.SS-TT.SS
OpenSubtitles2016.SS-TT.TT
!!! If they are originally called ...TT-SS... instead of ...SS-TT...,
you need to symlink them (or move, or copy) !!!
- target tagging model
TT.tagger.udpipe
All of these can be obtained from https://bitbucket.org/hy-crossNLP/vardial2017
You also need to have:
- Bash
- Perl 5
- Python 3
- word2vec (https://code.google.com/archive/p/word2vec/); we used rev 41 from 15th Sep 2014
- udpipe (https://github.com/ufal/udpipe); we used commit 3e65d69 from 3rd Jan 2017
- Treex (https://github.com/ufal/treex); we used commit d27ee8a from 21st Dec 2016
The most basic setup is the sl-hr one (train_sl-hr.sh):
- normalization of deprels
- 1:1 word-alignment of parallel data with Monolingual Greedy Aligner
- simple word-by-word translation of source treebank
- pre-training of target word embeddings
- simplification of morpho feats (use only Case)
- and finally, training and evaluating the parser
Both da+sv-no (train_ds-no.sh) and cs-sk (train_cs-sk.sh) add some cross-tagging, which seems to be useful only in
specific cases (see paper for details).
Moreover, cs-sk also adds more morpho features, selecting those that
seem to be very often shared in parallel data.
The whole pipeline takes tens of hours to run, and uses several GB of RAM, so make sure to use a powerful computer.
Universal Dependencies is a project that seeks to develop cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages, with the goal of facilitating multilingual parser development, cross-lingual learning, and parsing research from a language typology perspective. The annotation scheme is based on (universal) Stanford dependencies (de Marneffe et al., 2006, 2008, 2014), Google universal part-of-speech tags (Petrov et al., 2012), and the Interset interlingua for morphosyntactic tagsets (Zeman, 2008).

This release is special in that the treebanks will be used as training/development data in the CoNLL 2017 shared task (http://universaldependencies.org/conll17/). Test data are not released, except for the few treebanks that do not take part in the shared task. 64 treebanks will be in the shared task, and they correspond to the following 45 languages: Ancient Greek, Arabic, Basque, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Gothic, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh, Korean, Latin, Latvian, Norwegian, Old Church Slavonic, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uyghur and Vietnamese.
