On the Frailty of Universal POS Tags for Neural UD Parsers

CONLL 2020  ·  Mark Anderson, Carlos Gómez-Rodríguez ·

We present an analysis on the effect UPOS accuracy has on parsing performance. Results suggest that leveraging UPOS tags as features for neural parsers requires a prohibitively high tagging accuracy and that the use of gold tags offers a non-linear increase in performance, suggesting some sort of exceptionality. We also investigate what aspects of predicted UPOS tags impact parsing accuracy the most, highlighting some potentially meaningful linguistic facets of the problem.
