Parsing Aided by Intra-Clausal Coordination Detection

Abstract

We present an algorithm for parsing with detection of intra-clausal coordinations. The algorithm is based on machine learning techniques and helps to decompose a large parsing problem into several smaller ones.

Its performance was tested on Slovene Dependency Treebank. Used together with the maximum spanning tree parsing algorithm it improved parsing accuracy.
