Multilingual discriminative shift reduce phrase structure parsing for the SPMRL 2014 shared task

This paper describes the design of a multilingual lexicalized discriminative shift reduce phrase structure based parser used to parse the SPMRL 2014 shared task data set. It reports the results of one of the first massively multilingual lexicalized phrase structure parser and shows that it behaves surprisingly well on a multilingual setting.
