CLEAR Dependency Format• Stanford dependency format

- Provides rich dependency labels.

- Does not consider information such as empty categories, function tags, secondary dependencies, etc.

• CLEAR dependency format

- Adapts the Stanford dependency format.

- Remaps dependencies for empty categories.

- Preserves function tags.

- Preserves secondary dependencies.

2.4 Assigning dependency labels

2.4.1 Clear dependency labels

Table 2.3 shows a list of dependency labels, called the Clear dependency labels, generated by our

dependency conversion. These labels are mostly inspired by the Stanford dependency approach,

partially borrowed from the CoNLL dependency approach, and newly introduced by the Clear de-

pendency approach to minimize unclassified dependencies. Appendix D shows detailed descriptions

of the Clear dependency labels. Section 2.4.3 shows a comparison between the Clear and the

Stanford dependencies.

CoNLL dependency approach. Labels followed by ∗∗ are newly introduced by the Clear dependency

approach.

Appendix A

Constituent Treebank Tags

This appendix shows tags used in various constituent Treebanks for English (Marcus et al., 1993;

Nielsen et al., 2010; Weischedel et al., 2011; Verspoor et al., 2012). Tags followed by∗

are not the

typical Penn Treebank tags but used in some other Treebanks.
