A Cascaded Finite-State Parser for German

The paper presents two approaches to partial parsing of German: a tagger trained on dependency tuples, and a cascaded finite-state parser (Abney, 1997). For the tagging approach, the effects of choosing different representations of dependency tuples are investigated. Performance of the finite-state parser is boosted by delaying syntactically unsolvable disambiguation problems via underspecification. Both approaches are evaluated on a 340,000-token corpus.
