As a net effect, the impact of deep parsing technology on application-oriented NLP is still fairly limited.",

So far, integration has largely focused on the lexical level, to improve upon the most urgent needs in increasing the robustness and coverage of deep parsing systems, namely lexical coverage. While integration in (Grover and Lascarides, 2001) was still restricted to morphological and PoS information, (Crysmann et al., 2002) extended shallow-deep integration at the lexical level to lexico-semantic information, and named entity expressions, including multiword expressions. (Crysmann et al., 2002) assume a vertical, 'pipeline' scenario where shallow NLP tools provide XML annotations that are used by the DNLP system as a preprocessing and lexical interface. The perspective opened up by a multi-layered, data-centric architecture is, however, much broader, in that it encourages horizontal cross-fertilisation effects among complementary and/or competing components.",

Within a hybrid shallow-deep platform one can take advantage of partial knowledge provided by shallow parsers to pre-structure the search space of the deep parser. In this paper, we will thus complement the efforts made on the lexical side by integration at the phrasal level. We will show that this may lead to considerable performance increase for the DNLP component. More specifically, we combine a probabilistic topological field parser for German with the HPSG parser of (Callmeier, 2000) . The HPSG grammar used is the one originally developed by (M\u00fcller and Kasper, 2000) , with significant performance enhancements by B. Crysmann.",

As baseline, we performed a run without topological information, yet including PoS prioritisation from tagging. 13 A series of tests explores the effects of alternative parameter settings. We further test the impact of chunk information. To this end, phrasal fields determined by topological parsing were fed to the chunk parser of (Skut and Brants, 1998) . Extracted NP and PP bracket constraints are defined as left-matching bracket types, to compensate for the non-embedding structure of chunks. Chunk brackets are tested in conjunction with topological brackets, and in isolation, using the labelled precision value of 71.1% in (Skut and Brants, 1998) as a uniform confidence weight. 14 Measures For all runs we measure the absolute time and the number of parsing tasks needed to compute the first reading. The times in the individual runs were normalised according to the number of executed tasks per second. We noticed that the coverage of some integrated runs decreased by up to 1% of the 5060 test items, with a typical loss of around 0.5%. To warrant that we are not just trading coverage for speed, we derived two measures from the primary data: an upper bound, where we associated every unsuccessful parse with the time and number of tasks used when the limit of 70000 passive edges was hit, and a lower bound, where we removed the most expensive parses from each run, until we reached the same coverage. Whereas the upper bound is certainly more realistic in an application context, the lower bound gives us a worst case estimate of expectable speed-up.",
