Papers

Parser Evaluation Using Derivation Trees: A Complement to evalb (2014)
The standard metric for constituency parsers, evalb, scores matching brackets, so it cannot say which construction went wrong.
Further Developments in Treebank Error Detection Using Derivation Trees (2012)
Treebank annotators sometimes bracket the same word sequence in different ways. The paper finds these cases automatically. Each tree is cut into small tree-adjoining units, and for each word sequence (a "nucleus") every instance is compared with the others in the same internal context. Instances whose reduced…
Diacritic Annotation in the Arabic Treebank and its Impact on Parser Evaluation (2008)
The Arabic Treebank is released in a vocalized and an unvocalized form of each file, and most parsing work used the unvocalized trees as "real-world" input.
Developing an Arabic Treebank: Methods, Guidelines, Procedures, and Tools (2004)
The authors report two and a half years of building the Penn Arabic Treebank for unvocalized MSA news text.
