Dependency Parsing #
This page is a structured learning template. Replace the comments with clear explanations, examples, formulas, diagrams, and practical insights while keeping the Hugo shortcodes intact.
Learning Objectives #
- Represent sentence structure using heads and dependency relations.
- Explain the role of dependency formalisms and treebanks.
- Compare transition-based and graph-based parsing.
- Describe how neural networks are used in modern dependency parsers.
