| Abstract | In this paper we present LX-Parser, a probabilistic, robust constituency parserfor Portuguese. This parser achieves ca. 88% f-score in the labeled bracketingtask, thus reaching a state-of-the-art performance score that is in line withthose that are currently obtained by top-ranking parsers for English, the moststudied natural language.To the best of our knowledge, LX-Parser is the first state-of-the-art, robustconstituency parser for Portuguese that is made freely available.This parser is being distributed in a variety of ways, each suited for adifferent type of usage. More specifically, LX-Parser is being made available(i) as a downloadable, stand-alone parsing tool that can be run locally by itsusers; (ii) as a Web service that exposes an interface that can be invokedremotely and transparently by client applications; and finally (iii) as anon-line parsing service, aimed at human users, that can be accessed through anycommon Web browser. |
