The Hindi/Urdu Treebank Project

The goal of Hindi/Urdu treebanking project is to build multi-layered treebanks that will provide both syntactic and semantic annotations. In the past two decades, dozens of treebanks have been created for languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Czech, English, French, German, and many more. Our treebanks differ from the previous treebanks in two important aspects: they are multi-representational, i.e., they include several layers of representation from the initial design; and they cover two standardized registers that are often considered separate languages: Hindi and Urdu.
