The effect of semi-supervised learning on parsing long distance dependencies in German and Swedish

Anders Østerskov Søgaard, Christian Rishøj

Abstract

This paper shows how the best data-driven dependency parsers available today [1] can be improved by learning from unlabeled data. We focus on German and Swedish and show that labeled attachment scores improve by 1.5%-2.5%. Error analysis shows that improvements are primarily due to better recovery of long distance dependencies.
