## Papers

1. **[Formalism-Independent Parser Evaluation with CCG and DepBank](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2007-clark-formalism-independent-parser-evaluation-ccg/)** *(2007)* Parsers that use different formalisms produce different output, so their scores cannot be compared directly.
2. **[Adding Noun Phrase Structure to the Penn Treebank](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/bank-2007-vadas-adding-noun-phrase-structure-penn/)** *(2007)* The Penn Treebank leaves base noun phrases flat, so "Air Force contract" has no internal structure, and any parser trained on it cannot learn that "Air Force" is a unit.
3. **[Supersense Tagging of Unknown Nouns using Semantic Similarity](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/aclbulk-2005-curran-supersense-tagging-unknown-nouns-semantic/)** *(2005)* Curran classifies unknown common nouns into the 26 WordNet lexicographer supersenses without any annotated examples.
