Table of results
| System name | Short description | Main publications | Software | Results (PARSEVAL) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charniak & Johnson's Parser | Lexicalized N-Best PCFG + Discriminative reranking | Johnson and Charniak (2005) | sbo | 91.4% | also works well on Brown |
| Self-trained Charniak & Johnson Parser | Above + self-training on ~2 million raw sentences from NANC | McClosky, Charniak, and Johnson (2006) | sbobet | 92.1% | also works well on Brown |
| Collins' Parser | Lexicalized PCFG | Collins (1999), Bikel (2004) | Dan Bikel's implementation | ? | ? |
| Berkeley Parser | Automatically induced PCFG | Petrov et al. (2006), Petrov and Klein (2007) | Berkeley Parser | 90.1% | works well also for Chinese and German |
| Link Grammar | Dependency grammar | Temperley, Sleator, Lafferty, others (1995-2006) | Actively supported project | ? | Persian, Arabic, Chinese, German, Russian dictionaries have been developed. |
