Your input file should have the extension .input.txt e.g. hindi.input.txt To dependency tag your input file run "make .output" e.g.

make hindi.output

This will create a file named hindi.output

See hindi.input.txt and hindi.dependency.parser.out.txt for sample input and output files. You can change the entries in Makefile to work with any desired input.

The output format contains the following columns separated by tab space.

See dep-tagset.pdf for the dependency tagset details. The tagset is briefly described in [1].

We train and test Malt Dependency Parser [2] on Hindi ICON 2010 shared task data [3]. We use the features word, lemma and postag (for postposition tags we lexicalize the tag by appending the word to the tag). You can build a better parser using other features such as morphological information, which we do not do here.

Parser Accuracy: (Parser trained on features word, lemma and postag)
  Labelled   attachment score: 4948 / 6588 * 100 = 75.11 %
  Unlabelled attachment score: 5555 / 6588 * 100 = 84.32 %
  Label accuracy score:       5199 / 6588 * 100 = 78.92 %
