We use this framework to describe several well-known projective and non-projective dependency parsers, build correctness proofs, and establish formal relationships between them. We then use the framework to define new polynomial-time parsing algorithms for various mildly non-projective dependency formalisms, including well-nested structures with their gap degree bounded by a constant k in time O(n 5+2k), and a new class that includes all gap degree k structures present in several natural language treebanks (which we call mildly ill-nested structures for gap degree k) in time O(n 4+3k).

"text": "Dependency parsing involves finding the structure of a sentence as expressed by a set of directed links (called dependencies) between individual words. Dependency formalisms have attracted considerable interest in recent years, having been successfully applied to tasks such as machine translation (Ding and Palmer 2005; Shen, Xu, and Weischedel 2008) , textual entailment recognition (Herrera, Pe\u00f1as, and Verdejo 2005) , relation extraction (Culotta and Sorensen 2004; Fundel, K\u00fcffner, and Zimmer 2006) , and question answering (Cui et al. 2005) . Key characteristics of the dependency parsing approach are that dependency structures specify head-modifier and head-complement relationships, which form the basis of predicate-argument structure, but are not represented explicitly in constituency trees; there is no need for dependency parsers to postulate the existence of non-lexical nodes; and some variants of dependency parsers are able to represent non-projective structures , which is important when parsing free word order languages where discontinuous constituents are common.",

"text": "Although parsing schemata were originally defined for CFG parsers, they have since been adapted to other constituency-based grammar formalisms. This involves finding a suitable definition of the set of structures contained in items, and a way to define deduction steps that captures the formalism's composition rules (Alonso et al. 1999) . Although it is less clear how to adapt parsing schemata to dependency parsing, a number of dependency parsers have the key property of being constructive: They proceed by combining smaller structures to form larger ones, terminating when a complete parse for the input sentence is found. We show that this makes it possible to define a variant of the traditional parsing schemata framework, where the encodings of intermediate dependency structures are defined as items, and the operations used to combine them are expressed as inference rules. We begin by addressing a number of preliminary issues.",

"text": "Traditional parsing schemata are used to define grammar-driven parsers, in which the parsing process is guided by some set of rules which are used to license deduction steps. For example, an Earley PREDICTOR step is tied to a particular grammar rule, and can only be executed if such a rule exists. Some dependency parsers are also grammardriven. For example, those described by Lombardo and Lesmo (1996) , Barbero et al. (1998) , and Kahane, Nasr, and Rambow (1998) are based on the formalizations of dependency grammar CFG-like rules described by Hays (1964) and Gaifman (1965) . However, many of the algorithms (Eisner 1996; Yamada and Matsumoto 2003) are not traditionally considered to be grammar-driven, because they do not use an explicit formal grammar; decisions about which dependencies to create are taken individually, using probabilistic models (Eisner 1996) or classifiers (Yamada and Matsumoto 2003) . These are called data-driven parsers. To express such algorithms as deduction systems, we use the notion of D-rules (Covington 1990) . D-rules have the form (a, i) \u2192 (b, j), which specifies that a word b located at position j in the input string can have the word a in position i as a dependent. Deduction steps in data-driven parsers can be associated with the D-rules corresponding to the links they create, so that parsing schemata for such parsers are defined using grammars of D-rules. In this way, we obtain a representation of some of the declarative aspects of these parsing strategies that is independent of the particular model used to make the decisions associated with each D-rule. Note that this representation is useful for designing control structures or probabilistic models for the parsers, because it makes explicit the choice points where the models will have to make probabilistic decisions, as well as the information available at each of those choice points. Additionally, D-rules allow us to use an uniform description that is valid for both data-driven and grammar-driven parsers, because D-rules can function like grammatical rules.",

"text": "The fundamental structures in dependency parsing are dependency trees. Therefore, just as items for constituency parsers encode sets of partial constituency trees, items for dependency parsers can be defined using partial dependency trees. However, dependency trees cannot express the fact that a particular structure has been predicted, but not yet built; this is required for grammar-based algorithms such as those of Lombardo and Lesmo (1996) and Kahane, Nasr, and Rambow (1998) . The formalism can be made general enough to include these parsers by using a novel way of representing intermediate states of dependency parsers based on a form of dependency trees that include nodes labelled with preterminals and terminals G\u00f3mez-Rodr\u00edguez 2009) . For simplicity of presentation, we will only use this representation (called extended dependency trees) in the grammar-based algorithms that need it, and we will define the formalism and the rest of the algorithms with simple dependency trees. Some existing dependency parsing algorithms, for example, the algorithm of Eisner (1996) , involve steps that connect spans which can represent disconnected dependency graphs. Such spans cannot be represented by a single dependency tree. Therefore, our formalism allows items to be sets of forests of partial dependency trees, rather than sets of trees.",

In schemata for parsers that are constrained to a more restrictive class T of dependency trees, such as projective parsers, coherent final items will be those containing parse trees for w 1 . . . w n that are in T . For example, because we expect correct projective parsers to produce only projective structures, coherent final items for projective parsers will be those containing projective parse trees for w 1 . . . w n .

This simplification is an item contraction which results in an O(n 3 ) head-corner parser. From here, we can follow the procedure described by Sikkel (1994) to relate this head-corner algorithm to parsers analogous to other algorithms for CFGs. In this way, we can refine the head-corner parser to a variant of the algorithm by de Vreught and Honig (1989) (Sikkel 1997) , and by successive filters we reach a left-corner parser which is equivalent to the one described by Barbero et al. (1998) , and a step contraction of the Earley-based dependency parser by Lombardo and Lesmo (1996) . The proofs for these relations are the same as those given by Sikkel (1994) , except that the dependency variants of each algorithm are simpler (due to the absence of epsilon rules and the fact that the rules are lexicalized). The names used for schemata dVH1, dVH2, dVH3, and buLC shown in Figure 6 come from Sikkel (1994 Sikkel ( , 1997 .

"text": "For reasons of computational efficiency, many practical implementations of dependency parsing are restricted to projective structures. However, some natural language sentences appear to have non-projective syntactic structure, something that arises in many languages (Havelka 2007) , and is particularly common in free word order languages such as Czech. Parsing without the projectivity constraint is computationally complex: Although it is possible to parse non-projective structures in quadratic time with respect to input length under a model in which each dependency decision is independent of all the others (as in the parser of , discussed in Section 6.4), the problem is intractable in the absence of this assumption (McDonald and Satta 2007) . Nivre and Nilsson (2005) observe that most non-projective dependency structures appearing in practice contain only small proportions of non-projective arcs. This has led to the study of sub-classes of the class of all non-projective dependency structures (Kuhlmann and Nivre 2006; Havelka 2007) . Kuhlmann (2010) investigates several such classes, based on well-nestedness and gap degree constraints (Bodirsky, Kuhlmann, and M\u00f6hl 2005) , relating them to lexicalized constituency grammar formalisms. Specifically, Kuhlmann shows that linear context-free rewriting systems (LCFRS) with fan-out k (Vijay-Shanker, Weir, and Joshi 1987; Satta 1992) induce the set of dependency structures with gap degree at most k \u2212 1; coupled CFG in which the maximal rank of a nonterminal is k (Hotz and Pitsch 1996) induces the set of wellnested dependency structures with gap degree at most k \u2212 1; and finally, LTAG (Joshi and Schabes 1997) induces the set of well-nested dependency structures with gap degree at most 1.",

Thirdly, we generalize the previous parsers in order to include ill-nested structures with gap degree at most k satisfying certain constraints, giving a parser that runs in time O(n 4+3k ).

We proceed step by step, showing that if each of the antecedents of a given step contains at least one properly formed tree, we obtain a properly formed tree that is an element of the corresponding consequent. In the case of LINK steps, this properly formed consequent tree is obtained by creating a dependency link between the heads of the properly formed antecedent trees; for COMBINE steps, it is obtained from the union of the antecedent trees. To prove that these consequent trees are properly formed, we show that they are well-nested, have a projection corresponding to the indices in the consequent item, and satisfy the gap degree constraint 2 required for the trees to be properly formed.

For the induction step, we take T to be a properly formed dependency tree rooted at a node h, such that #( h ) = N for some N > 1. Lemma 1 holds for T if it holds for every properly formed dependency tree T rooted at h such that #( h ) < N. Let p be the number of direct children of h in the tree T.

Order annotations are strings that encode the precedence relation between the nodes of a dependency tree. The order annotation for a given node encodes the shape (with respect to this precedence relation) of the projection of each of the children of that node, that is, the number of intervals in each projection, the number of gaps, and the way in which intervals and gaps are interleaved.

The constituency parser defined by Hotz and Pitsch (1996) for these grammars also adds an n 2 factor for each unit increment of k. Note that a small value of k appears to be sufficient to account for the vast majority of the non-projective sentences found in natural language treebanks. For instance, the Prague Dependency Treebank (Haji\u010d et al. 2006) contains no structures with gap degree greater than 4.

"text": "The WG k parser analyzes dependency structures with bounded gap degree as long as they are well-nested. Although this covers the vast majority of the structures that occur in natural language treebanks (Kuhlmann and Nivre 2006) , a significant number of sentences contain ill-nested structures. Maier and Lichte (2011) provide examples of some linguistic phenomena that cause ill-nestedness. Unfortunately, the general problem of parsing ill-nested structures is NP-complete, even when the gap degree is bounded. This set of structures is closely related to LCFRS with bounded fan-out and unbounded production length, and parsing in this formalism is known to be NP-complete (Satta 1992) . The reason for this complexity is the problem of unrestricted crossing configurations, appearing when dependency subtrees are allowed to interleave in every possible way. Ill-nested structures can be parsed in polynomial time with bounds on the gap degree and the number of dependents allowed per node: Kuhlmann (2010) presents a parser based on this idea, using a kind of grammar that resembles LCFRS, called regular dependency grammar. This parser is exponential in the gap degree, as well as in the maximum number of dependents allowed per node: Its complexity is O(n k(m+1) ), where k is the maximum gap degree and m is the maximum number of dependents per node. In contrast, the parsers presented here are data-driven and thus do not need an explicit grammar. Furthermore, they are able to parse dependency structures with any number of dependents per node, and their computational complexity is independent of this parameter m.",

The INITTER step starts the top-down process by constructing a linkage that spans the whole string w 1 . . . w n , but where no links have been constructed yet.

The practical relevance of this set of structures can be seen in the data obtained from several dependency treebanks, showing that all the sentences contained in them are mildly ill-nested for their gap degree, and thus they are parsable with this algorithm. The strategy used by this algorithm for parsing mildly ill-nested structures has been adapted to solve the problem of finding minimal fan-out binarizations of LCFRS to improve parsing efficiency (see ).",
