• Authors: Brett Reynolds, Aryaman Arora, Nathan Schneider
• Abstract summary: We introduce the syntactic formalism of the textitCambridge Grammar of the English Language (CGEL) to the world of treebanking through the CGELBank project. We discuss some issues in linguistic analysis that arose in adapting the formalism to corpus annotation, followed by quantitative and qualitative comparisons with parallel UD and PTB treebanks.

• Abstract: We introduce the syntactic formalism of the \textit{Cambridge Grammar of the English Language} (CGEL) to the world of treebanking through the CGELBank project. We discuss some issues in linguistic analysis that arose in adapting the formalism to corpus annotation, followed by quantitative and qualitative comparisons with parallel UD and PTB treebanks. We argue that CGEL provides a good tradeoff between comprehensiveness of analysis and usability for annotation, which motivates expanding the treebank with automatic conversion in the future.

  We put forward a sequence tagging BERT-based model enhanced with a graph-aware transformer architecture, which we evaluate on the task of collocation recognition in context. Our results suggest that explicitly encoding syntactic dependencies in the model architecture is helpful, and provide insights on differences in collocation typification in English, Spanish and French.

  This paper addresses the problem of structured sentiment analysis using a bi-affine semantic dependency. For the monolingual setup, we considered: (i) training on a single treebank, and (ii) relaxing the setup by training on treebanks coming from different languages. For the zero-shot setup and a given target treebank, we relied on: (i) a word-level translation of available treebanks in other languages to get noisy, unlikely-grammatical, but annotated data. In the post-evaluation phase, we also trained cross-lingual models that simply merged all the English tree

  We propose a novel framework to exploit task-related discourse for the task of sentiment analysis. More specifically, we are combining the large-scale, sentiment-dependent MEGA-DT treebank with a novel neural architecture for sentiment prediction. Experiments show that our framework using sentiment-related discourse augmentations for sentiment prediction enhances the overall performance for long documents.

  We present a novel methodology to automatically generate discourse treebanks using distant supervision from sentiment-annotated datasets. Our approach generates trees incorporating structure and nuclearity for documents of arbitrary length by relying on an efficient beam-search strategy. Experiments indicate that a discourse trained on our MEGA-DT treebank delivers promising inter-domain performance gains.
