Multi-Task Learning by using Contextualized Word Representations for Syntactic Parsing of a Morphologically Rich Language

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 24, 2026 · UTC

We address the challenge of syntactic parsing for Urdu, a morphologically rich language, and present state-of-the-art results for both constituency and dependency parsing. This paper offers four major contributions: 1) the conversion of the CLE-UTB phrase structure treebank into a dependency treebank by developing language-specific head-word and phrase-to-dependency label mapping rules; 2) a novel sequence labeling scheme that transforms the parsing task into a unified representation; 3) the training of contextualized word representations on a large 220 million tokens Urdu corpus collected fro
