  abstract  = {The Universal Dependencies (UD) project was conceived after the substantial
	recent interest in unifying annotation schemes across languages. With its own
	annotation principles and abstract inventory for parts of speech,
	morphosyntactic features and dependency relations, UD aims to facilitate
	multilingual parser development, cross-lingual learning, and parsing research
	from a language typology perspective. This paper presents the Turkish IMST-UD
	Treebank, the first Turkish treebank to be in a UD release. The IMST-UD
	Treebank was automatically converted from the IMST Treebank, which was also
	recently released. We describe this conversion procedure in detail, complete
	with mapping tables. We also present our evaluation of the parsing performances
	of both versions of the IMST Treebank. Our findings suggest that the UD
	framework is at least as viable for Turkish as the original annotation
	framework of the IMST Treebank.},
