  abstract  = {This paper describes our dependency parsing system in CoNLL-2017 shared task on
	Multilingual Parsing from Raw Text to Universal Dependencies. We primarily
	focus on the low-resource languages (surprise languages). We have developed a
	framework to combine multiple treebanks to train parsers for low resource
	languages by delexicalization method. We have applied transformation on source
	language treebanks based on syntactic features of the low-resource language to
	improve performance of the parser. In the official evaluation, our system
	achieves an macro-averaged LAS score of 67.61 and 37.16 on the entire blind
	test data and the surprise language test data respectively.},
