Training a Swedish Constituency Parser on Six Incompatible Treebanks

Richard Johansson, Yvonne Adesam


Abstract
We investigate a transition-based parser that uses Eukalyptus, a function-tagged constituent treebank for Swedish which includes discontinuous constituents. In addition, we show that the accuracy of this parser can be improved by using a multitask learning architecture that makes it possible to train the parser on additional treebanks that use other annotation models.
