Graph-based models (McDonald et al., 2005; McDonald and Pereira, 2006) and transitionbased models (Yamada and Matsumoto, 2003; Nivre and Scholz, 2004) are two dominant paradigms in the dependency parsing community. McDonald and Nivre (2007) have made elaborate analyses about the very different theoretical properties of...

Natural language often conveys a sequence of events like "who did what to whom", and extracting structured events from the raw text is a kind of touchstone for machine reading. This is realized by a combination of coreference resolution (called CR, hereafter) and predicate argument structure analysis (called PA, hereaf...
