    abstract = "This paper reports on an effort to recover the classical morphosyntactically annotated corpus MacMorpho and realign it with the current version of the Universal Dependencies framework. We introduce a knowledge-rich approach grounded in a syntactic parser and on a specially designed tagset compatibility strategy in order to generate a ``silver-standard'' resource: the MacMorpho-UD-2.17. We evaluate this resource through multiple complementary methods, providing evidence for the quality of both our approach and the resulting annotation."
