The method makes use of three steps: 1) a\nmethod for deriving cross-lingual word clusters, which can then be used in a\nmultilingual parser; 2) a method for transferring lexical information from a\ntarget language to source language treebanks; 3) a method for integrating these\nsteps with the density-driven annotation projection method of Rasooli and\nCollins (2015). Experiments show improvements over the state-of-the-art in\nseveral languages used in previous work, in a setting where the only source of\ntranslation data is the Bible, a considerably smaller corpus than the Europarl\ncorpus used in previous work. Results using the Europarl corpus as a source of\ntranslation data show additional improvements over the results of Rasooli and\nCollins (2015). We conclude with results on 38 datasets from the Universal\nDependencies corpora.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1610.06227v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.06227v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"cross-lingual-syntactic-transfer-with-limited","repo_url":"https://github.com/rasoolims/YaraParser","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"translation","task_name":"Translation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1610.06227","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1610.06227","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
