Open Source Software

• Dependency-based SRL system
  I built a system for dependency-based semantic role labeling during my master's thesis. A cleaned up version of the code is available on Google Code, along with Bernd Bohnet's dependency parsers. Note that as Google Code closed the code repositories were taken down. All that remains are some tar balls for download but they are nevertheless sufficient to access the code.

• Coreference Resolver -- old
  With Richárd Farkas I wrote up a coreference resolver for the CoNLL 2012 Shared Task (Björkelund and Farkas, 2012; download source code). I used the same system (with some modifcations) for the COLING 2012 paper Phrase-structures and Dependencies for End-to-End Coreference Resolution (Björkelund and Kuhn, 2012; download source code).

• Coreference Resolver -- (somewhat) newer
  In our ACL 2014 paper, Jonas Kuhn and I describe a coreference system based on latent antecedents and non-local features (Björkelund and Kuhn, 2014; download source code). It is clearly superior to the systems above, and obtained the best results at the time on all CoNLL 2012 Shared Task data sets (Arabic, Chinese, and English).

• Transition-based Dependency Parser
  For our paper on non-deterministic oracles for transition-based parsers (Björkelund and Nivre, 2015; download source code), I implemented a transition-based dependency parser with the oracles described in the paper. In subsequent work with Agnieszka Falenska, Jonas Kuhn, and Wolfgang Seeker we extended this parser to also handle sentence splitting (Björkelund et al., 2016; download source code).
