Mapping Dependency Structures to Phrase Structures and the Automatic Acquisition of Mapping Rules

Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2004)

Abstract

This paper describes a simple graph grammar based formalism that is capable to translate dependency structures into phrase structures. A procedure is introduced for the automatic acquisition of mapping rules from corpora which are annotated with both phrase structures and dependency structures. The acquired rules are evaluated by applying them to a corpus annotated with dependency structures.
