Preface

Semi-supervised approaches for dependency parsing have become increasingly popular in recent years. One of the reasons for their success is that they can make use of large unlabeled data together with relatively small labeled data and have shown their advantages on the task of dependency parsing for many languages. A range of different semi-supervised dependency parsing approaches have been proposed in recent work which utilize different types of information learned from unlabeled data. The aim of this book is to give readers a comprehensive introduction to the semi-supervised approaches for dependency parsing. This book is targeted to be a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in syntactic parsing and natural language processing. This book is partly derived from our earlier publications. We want to thank our coauthors in those publications: Hitoshi Isahara, Daisuke Kawahara, Jun’ichi Kazama, Kentaro Torisawa, Yoshimasa Tsuruoka, Kiyotaka Uchimoto, Yiou Wang, Yujie Zhang, Xiangyu Duan, Zhenghua Li, Haizhou Li, and Yue Zhang. We also want to thank the attendees in the IJCNLP2013 and COLING2014 tutorials on Dependency Parsing: Past, Present, and Future, presented by Zhenghua Li, Wenliang Chen, and Min Zhang. This book is also partly based on the material from the tutor
