This package contains data used in the IWPT 2021 shared task. It contains training, development and test (evaluation) datasets. The data is based on a subset of Universal Dependencies release 2.7 (http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-3424) but some treebanks contain additional enhanced annotations. Moreover, not all of these additions became part of Universal Dependencies release 2.8 (http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-3687), which makes the shared task data unique and worth a separate release to enable later comparison with new parsing algorithms. The package also contains a number of Perl and Python scripts that have been used to process the data during preparation and during the shared task. Finally, the package includes the official primary submission of each team participating in the shared task.
Lingua::Interset is a universal morphosyntactic feature set to which all tagsets of all corpora/languages can be mapped. Version 2.026 covers 37 different tagsets of 21 languages. Limited support of the older drivers for other languages (which are not included in this package but are available for download elsewhere) is also available; these will be fully ported to Interset 2 in future.
Interset is implemented as Perl libraries. It is also available via CPAN.
The original SDP 2014 and 2015 data collections were made available under task-specific ‘evaluation’ licenses to registered SemEval participants. In mid-2016, all original data has been bundled with system submissions, supporting software, an additional SDP-style collection of semantic dependency graphs, and additional background material (from which some of the SDP target representations were derived) for release through the Linguistic Data Consortium (with LDC catalogue number LDC2016 T10).
One of the four English target representations (viz. DM) and the entire Czech data (in the PSD target representation) are not derivative of LDC-licensed annotations and, thus, can be made available for direct download (Open SDP; version 1.1; April 2016) under a more permissive licensing scheme, viz. the Creative Common Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license. This package also includes some ‘richer’ meaning representations from which the English bi-lexical DM graphs derive, viz. scope-underspecified logical forms and more abstract, non-lexicalized ‘semantic networks’. The latter of these are formally (if not linguistically) similar to Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) and are available in a range of serializations, including in AMR-like syntax.

Version 1.1 was released April 2016. Version 1.2 adds the 2015 Turku system, which was accidentally left out from version 1.1.

A richly annotated and genre-diversified language resource, The Prague Dependency Treebank – Consolidated 1.0 (PDT-C 1.0, or PDT-C in short in the sequel) is a consolidated release of the existing PDT-corpora of Czech data, uniformly annotated using the standard PDT scheme. PDT-corpora included in PDT-C: Prague Dependency Treebank (the original PDT contents, written newspaper and journal texts from three genres); Czech part of Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank (translated financial texts, from English), Prague Dependency Treebank of Spoken Czech (spoken data, including audio and transcripts and multiple speech reconstruction annotation); PDT-Faust (user-generated texts). The difference from the separately published original treebanks can be briefly described as follows: it is published in one package, to allow easier data handling for all the datasets; the data is enhanced with a manual linguistic annotation at the morphological layer and new version of morphological dictionary is enclosed; a common valency lexicon for all four original parts is enclosed. Documentation provides two browsing and editing desktop tools (TrEd and MEd) and the corpus is also available online for searching using PML-TQ.
The Prague Dependency Treebank 3.5 is the 2018 edition of the core Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT). It contains all PDT annotation made at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics under various projects between 1996 and 2018 on the original texts, i.e., all annotation from PDT 1.0, PDT 2.0, PDT 2.5, PDT 3.0, PDiT 1.0 and PDiT 2.0, plus corrections, new structure of basic documentation and new list of authors covering all previous editions. The Prague Dependency Treebank 3.5 (PDT 3.5) contains the same texts as the previous versions since 2.0; there are 49,431 annotated sentences (832,823 words) on all layers, from tectogrammatical annotation to syntax to morphology. There are additional annotated sentences for syntax and morphology; the totals for the lower layers of annotation are: 87,913 sentences with 1,502,976 words at the analytical layer (surface dependency syntax) and 115,844 sentences with 1,956,693 words at the morphological layer of annotation (these totals include the annotation with the higher layers annotated as well). Closely linked to the tectogrammatical layer is the annotation of sentence information structure, multiword expressions, coreference, bridging relations and discourse relations.
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.
The datasets described in Droganova, Kira, and Daniel Zeman. "Towards a Unified Taxonomy of Deep Syntactic Relations." Proceedings of the 2024 Joint International Conference on Computational Linguistics, Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC-COLING 2024). 2024.
Four languages are included in this release. English PropBank is omitted due to its license terms.
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).
