Abstract
In this chapter, we will consider the practical side of dependency parsing. First, we will discuss different evaluation metrics.Then we will discuss a suggestion for using dependency representations to compare parsers based on different grammar formalisms, and we will discuss how constituent treebanks can be converted into a dependency representation. This is an important conversion since for many languages, only constituent-based treebanks are available.We will also have a quick look at the shared tasks on dependency parsing of the Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL) because they provide many valuable resources.
