We report about tools for the extraction of German multiword expressions (MWEs) from text corpora; we extract word pairs, but also longer MWEs of different patterns, e.g. verb-nou...
In this paper, we describe a new algorithm for recovering WH-trace empty nodes. Our approach combines a set of hand-written patterns together with a probabilistic model. Because t...
We present an adaptation of constraint satisfaction inference (Canisius et al., 2006b) for predicting dependency trees. Three different classifiers are trained to predict weighte...
We describe some challenges of adaptation in the 2007 CoNLL Shared Task on Domain Adaptation. Our error analysis for this task suggests that a primary source of error is differenc...

We describe a new method for extracting Negative Polarity Item candidates (NPI candidates) from dependency-parsed German text corpora. Semi-automatic extraction of NPIs is a chall...
