[Corpora-List] Syntactic parsers

[Yannick Versley]

Dear Judith,

the current "state of the art" for parsing is pretty much dominated by 
PCFG-based parsers, for example
Charniak and Johnson's reranking parser, which uses a lexicalized PCFG with 
markovization:
http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/charniak05coarsetofine.html
or Klein and Pertrov's parser which automatically finds refinements of a 
treebank grammar:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~petrov/data/naacl07.pdf
(for more references, also have a look at
http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=Parsing_%28State_of_the_art%29 )

For dependency parsing, you could have a look at what the participants of the 
CoNLL 2007 shared task used:
http://nextens.uvt.nl/depparse-wiki/SharedTaskWebsite
(you can get the respective papers on the ACL anthology page at
http://www.aclweb.org/anthology-new/signll.html#2007-0 ).

Best,
Yannick
