Intraclausal Coordination and Clause Detection as a Preprocessing Step to Dependency Parsing

Abstract. The impact of clause and intraclausal coordination detection to dependency parsing of Slovene is examined. New methods based on machine learning and heuristic rules are proposed for clause and intraclausal coordination detection. They were included in a new dependency parsing algorithm, PACID. For evaluation, Slovene dependency treebank was used. At parsing, 6.4% and 9.2 % relative error reduction was achieved, compared to the dependency parsers MSTP and Malt, respectively. Key words: Clause and intraclausal coordination detection, parsing, machine learning
