[Corpora-List] Dependency Parser for English

[Joakim Nivre]

Hi,

Here are a few options you might consider:

1. MINIPAR

Available from http://www.cs.ualbert.ca/~lindek/minipar.htm but not with 
source code (as far as I know).

2. MSTParser

Available as open source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mstparser 
but you have to train a parser for English yourself, e.g., by using the 
Penn Treebank converted to dependency structures.

3. MaltParser

Available from http://w3.msi.vxu.se/users/nivre/research/MaltParser.html 
but not with source code (yet). (An open source version is under 
development and may appear before the summer.) On the other hand, there 
are pre-trained models for English that you can download and use, so no 
need to train a parser yourself.

Best,
Joakim Nivre
