This paper presents a Parallel Universal Dependency (PUD) treebank for the Indo-Aryan language, Bengali. The treebank consists of 1000 Bengali sentences created using a parallel corpus of English-Bengali and Hindi-Bengali. The number of tokens reported for the 200 manually annotated sentences are 2622. Both the English and the Hindi corpus was taken from the Universal Dependency (UD) repository and subsequently the English corpus was chosen as the source text. The corpus was then translated in Bengali from scratch by the author, who is also a native speaker of the language, and thereafter annotated based on universal parts of speech tag, language specific parts of speech tag and on syntactic levels. The paper also illustrates the linguistic analysis of the PUD treebank and concludes with the kappa score.

W14: The Fifth Widening NLP Workshop (WiNLP 2021)

workshop paper

EMNLP 2021 is planned to be a hybrid event in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, with both on-site and fully virtual participation possible. The experience for on-site participants would closely approximate a normal pre-COVID *ACL conference, with 5-6 thematically organized parallel sessions and live Q/A and interactive discussion immediately after the talks. Presentations by virtual participants will be equitably interleaved with those of on-site participants, projected on the auditorium screens as if on-site, and also followed immediately by live Q/A and interactive discussion at a time during reasonable waking hours for the virtual presenter. For all participants, on-site and virtual, who are unable to attend a session due to either time-zone issues or because they are participating in another session live, talk recordings and slides will be available online at a minimum after the live presentation (and in many cases before as well), and questions may be submitted in advance on session-specific discussion boards and answered live in session with the usual visual aids if desired.
