Singlish can be interesting to the ACL community both linguistically as a
major creole based on English, and computationally for information extraction
and sentiment analysis of regional social media. We investigate dependency
parsing of Singlish by constructing a dependency treebank under the Universal
Dependencies scheme, and then training a neural network model by integrating
English syntactic knowledge into a state-of-the-art parser trained on the
Singlish treebank. Results show that English knowledge can lead to 25% relative
error reduction, resulting in a parser of 84.47% accuracies. To the best of our
knowledge, we are the first to use neural stacking to improve cross-lingual
dependency parsing on low-resource languages. We make both our annotation and
parser available for further research.

本研究使用神经叠加的方法，在 Universal Dependencies 方案下构建了 Singlish 依赖树库，并将英语语法知识整合到最新的 Singlish 依赖分析器中，结果显示英语知识可以减少 25% 的错误率，使分析器的准确度为 84.47%。我们是首次在低资源语言上使用神经叠加来改善跨语言依赖解析。我们会将我们的注释和分析器提供给进一步的研究。
