2. **[Reranking and Self-Training for Parser Adaptation](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2006-mcclosky-reranking-self-training-parser-adaptation/)** *(2006)* Parsers trained on the Wall Street Journal lose much accuracy on other genres: the standard parser scores 89.7% on WSJ but only 82.9% on the Brown corpus.
