Peking: Profiling Syntactic Tree Parsing Techniques for Semantic Graph Parsing

Abstract

Using the SemEval-2014 Task 8 data, we profile the syntactic tree parsing techniques for semantic graph parsing. In particular, we implement different transition-based and graph-based models, as well as a parser ensembler, and evaluate their effectiveness for semantic dependency parsing. Evaluation gauges how successful data-driven dependency graph parsing can be by applying existing techniques.
