| Abstract | We present a partial dependency parser for Irish. Constraint Grammar (CG) basedrules are used to annotate dependency relations and grammatical functions.Chunking is performed using a regular-expression grammar which operates on thedependency tagged sentences. As this is the first implementation of a parserfor unrestricted Irish text (to our knowledge), there were no guidelines orprecedents available. Therefore deciding what constitutes a syntactic unit, andhow it should be annotated, accounts for a major part of the early developmenteffort. Currently, all tokens in a sentence are tagged for grammatical functionand local dependency. Long-distance dependencies, prepositional attachments orcoordination are not handled, resulting in a partial dependency analysis.Evaluations show that the partial dependency analysis achieves an f-score of93.60% on development data and 94.28% on unseen test data, while the chunkerachieves an f-score of 97.20% on development data and 93.50% on unseen testdata. |
