"Parsing Syntactic Coordination"
Abstract: Coordination is one of the phenomena that cause high error rates in parsing. In this talk, I will present joint work with Erhrd Hinrichs and Wolfgang Maier. I will first give an overview of the different cases of coordination that can be found in the German treebank TüBa-D/Z and in the English Penn Treebank. Then I will describe a strategy to improve parsing results for coordination. I will also present first results.
