Abstract
Cross-linguistically consistent annotation is necessary for sound comparative evaluation and cross-lingual learning experiments.It is also useful for multilingual system development and comparative linguistic studies.Universal Dependencies is an open community effort to create cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages within a dependency-based lexicalist framework.In this paper, we describe v1 of the universal guidelines, the underlying design principles, and the currently available treebanks for 33 languages.
TL;DRThis paper describes v1 of the universal guidelines, the underlying design principles, and the currently available treebanks for 33 languages, as well as highlighting the needs for sound comparative evaluation and cross-lingual learning experiments. (Semantic Scholar)
