This repository contains scripts to generate data in the input format of the mtg parser. Process three corpora:

bash generate_english_data.sh
bash generate_tiger_data.sh
bash generate_negra_data.sh

Dependencies:

• python3
• java (>= 1.8)
• discodop
• treetools (install the version of treetools for python2, since the version for python 3 seems to have a bug for the transform option)

Data required (and not included):

• English:
  • corpus_data/dptb.tar.bz2 (discontinuous ptb, Evang and Kallmeyer 2011)
  • corpus_data/ptbIII.tar.gz (PTB version 3)
• German (Tiger): corpus_data/GERMAN_SPMRL.tar.gz (SPMRL version of TiGer corpus)
• German (Negra): corpus_data/negra-corpus.tar.gz

For English, the script uses the Stanford parser to convert the ptb to conll dependency trees.

For the Negra corpus, the script uses a modified version of depsy to convert it to dependency trees (the modification just makes sure that the tokenization is not changed by Depsy).
