Notes on the Evaluation of Dependency Parsers Obtained Through Cross-Lingual Projection

In this paper we address methodological issues in the evaluation of a projectionbased framework for dependency parsing in which annotations for a source language are transfered to a target language using word alignments in a parallel corpus. The projected trees then constitute the training data for a data-driven parser in the target language. We discuss two problems that arise in the evaluation of such cross-lingual approaches. First, the annotation scheme underlying the source language annotations
