The 2018 Shared Task on Extrinsic Parser Evaluation: On the Downstream Utility of English Universal Dependency Parsers

@inProceedings{Fares-Murhaf2018-272105, title = {The 2018 Shared Task on Extrinsic Parser Evaluation: On the Downstream Utility of English Universal Dependency Parsers}, abstract = {We summarize empirical results and tentative conclusions from the Second Extrinsic Parser Evaluation Initiative (EPE 2018). We review the basic task setup, downstream applications involved, and end-to-end results for seventeen participating parsers. Based on both quantitative and qualitative analysis, we correlate intrinsic evaluation results at different layers of morph-syntactic analysis with observed downstream behavior.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the CoNLL 2018 Shared Task: Multilingual Parsing from Raw Text to Universal Dependencies}, author = {Fares, Murhaf and Oepen, Stephan and Øvrelid, Lilja and Björne, Jari and Johansson, Richard}, year = {2018}, publisher = {Association for Computational Linguistics}, }
