Re: [Mt-list] Dependency Parser For French

[DJamé Seddah]

Hi,

1) assuming that you signed the French treebank license (google "anne  
abeillé+French treebank"), getting the french treebank is easy
2) getting a version suitable for stat. dependency parsing is also easy:
http://www.linguist.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~mcandito/Rech/FTBDeps/index.html
3) you could also contact Marie Candito, Pascal Denis or Benoit Crabbé  
(marie.cand...@gmail.com,benoit.cra...@linguist.jussieu.fr, pascal.de...@inria.fr 
) to get either a parser trained on a dependency version of the FTB or  
the training data..

I assume that you don't read French  but a dependency parser for  
french was described in (candito et al, 2009)
http://www.linguist.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~mcandito/Publications/candito-crabbe-denis-guerin-taln2009.pdf
In short, the authors used a state-of-the-art constituency  parser  
(petrov et al, 06) + a maxent functionnal labeler to get dependencies  
parses.

Now, there is an LREC upcoming paper by the same gang where they  
compared this approach (although highly optimized using  word  
clustering for training)  against the Ryan Mc Donald's dependency  
parser trained on the French Dependency Bank.

Just contact them, they will be glad to help you.


All the best,

Djamé

Hello,

We are working in the project where we need a "good" dependency parser
for French, but it seems... there is no tool for this purpose. We
found Maltparser could be used for any language but it needs to be
trained on a large French treebank which we don't have (actually we
don't think it's easy to get this resource). I am wondering if there
is any other tool for this specific purpose? Any suggestion would be
highly welcome!

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards,
Wang
