Goals

• Increase visibility of DELPH-IN resources
• Train people in how to use DELPH-IN resources as a component in applications, especially:
  • ERG-based parsing
  • ERG-based treebanks/sembanks
• Create artifacts that will be useful beyond the tutorial
  • Training materials (see learning goals below)
  • Quick-start DELPH-IN packages
• Maybe: pointers to resources beyond ERG-based parsing and treebanks:
  • State of grammars for other languages (without over promising)
  • Generation with the ERG

Target audience

• Typical ACL attendees
• Anyone using syntactic dependency parsing (of English) as a source of (ML) features in some task

Use cases

• MRS dependency triples as features in e.g. sentiment analysis application
• Training a semantic dependency parser over MRS-derived bilexical dependencies

Tutorial learning goals

1. Understand how to set up ERG-based parsing stack, including preprocessing.
2. Understand how to access ERG/Redwoods treebanks in the various export formats.
3. Understand how to interpret ERS
