An efficient memory-based morphosyntactic tagger and parser for Dutch

We describe TADPOLE, a modular memory-based morphosyntactic tagger and dependency parser for Dutch. Though primarily aimed at being accurate, the design of the system is also driven by optimizing speed and memory usage, using a trie-based approximation of k-nearest neighbor classification as the basis of each module. We perform an evaluation of its three main modules: a part-of-speech tagger, a morphological analyzer, and a dependency parser, trained on manually annotated material available for Dutch – the parser is additionally trained on automatically parsed data. A global analysis of the sy... Mehr ...
