• Abstract: CHILDES is a widely used resource of transcribed child and child-directed speech. This paper introduces UD-English-CHILDES, the first officially released Universal Dependencies (UD) treebank derived from previously dependency-annotated CHILDES data with consistent and unified annotation guidelines. Our corpus harmonizes annotations from 11 children and their caregivers, totaling over 48k sentences. We validate existing gold-standard annotations under the UD v2 framework and provide an additional 1M silver-standard sentences, offering a consistent resource for computational and linguistic research.

  We present the first multi-dialect Bavarian treebank (MaiBaam) manually annotated with part-of-speech and syntactic dependency information in Universal Dependencies (UD) We highlight the morphosyntactic differences between the closely-related Bavarian and German and showcase the rich variability of speakers' orthographies. Our corpus includes 15k tokens, covering dialects from all Bavarian-speaking areas spanning three countries.

  Cross-lingual relation extraction (XRE) aggressively leverage the language-consistent structural features from the universal dependency (UD) resource. We investigate an unbiased UD-based XRE transfer by constructing a type of code-mixed UD forest. With such forest features, the gaps of UD-based XRE between the training and predicting phases can be effectively closed.

  Disambiguation of word senses in context is easy for humans, but a major challenge for automatic approaches. We present a method that takes as input a standard pre-trained word embedding model and induces a fully-fledged word sense inventory. We use this method to induce a collection of sense inventories for 158 languages on the basis of the original pre-trained fastText word embeddings.
