Identification of Conjunct Verbs in Hindi and Its Effect on Parsing Accuracy

This paper introduces a work on identification of conjunct verbs in Hindi. The paper will first focus on investigating which noun-verb combination makes a conjunct verb in Hindi using a set of linguistic diagnostics. We will then see which of these diagnostics can be used as features in a MaxEnt based automatic identification tool. Finally we will use this tool to incorporate certain features in a graph based dependency parser and show an improvement over previous best Hindi parsing accuracy.
