For information on the classes, move to the Teaching tab. Remember to complete assignments and read slides before class.

My research is presented in the Research, Publications, and R&D Projects tabs. Among others, BKTreebank is a project that I really like.

Drop me an email if you want to discuss supervision or collaboration.

BKTreebank

INTRODUCTION

BKTreebank 1.0 contains 6,900 sentences annotated with POS tagging and dependency parsing for Vietnamese. For more details on this version of the treebank, please refer to the paper:

Kiem-Hieu Nguyen. "BKTreebank: Building a Vietnamese Dependency Treebank". LREC 2018


BKPARSER LIBRARY

We also provide the library written in Java (with JRE 8 or higher) with vanilla POS tagger and dependency parser as described in our paper. The download link is here

ACCESS TO TREEBANK

The treebank is released for research purpose. In order to access to the data, please fill and submit the Google form below using an email from an academic establishment (undergraduate students or graduate students please ask your supervisors).
