Adapting and improving a shallow parser

IceNLP is a set of tools for processing and analysing the Icelandic language. One of these tools is IceParser, a shallow parser, whose purpose is to annotate flat phrase structure and syntactic functions. The input to IceParser are tokenised sentences, tagged with part-of-speech (POS) tags from the Icelandic POS tagset. This tagset was revised recently which means that many tools need to be revised to accurately handle the changes. In this project, we, first, present the changes made to IceParser with regard to the tagset revision. Second, we describe improvements made to individual components of IceParser, for the purpose of increasing its precision and coverage. Third, we perform an evaluation of the functionality of IceParser after the changes and, finally, perform preliminary error analysis.
