Treebanks have traditionally included only text and were derived from written sources such as newspapers or the web. We introduce the Aligned Multimodal Movie Treebank (AMMT), an English language treebank derived from dialog in Hollywood movies which includes transcriptions of the audio-visual streams with word-level alignment, as well as part of speech tags and dependency parses in the Universal Dependencies formalism. AMMT consists of 31,264 sentences and 218,090 words, that will amount to the 3rd largest UD English treebank and the only multimodal treebank in UD. To help with the web-based annotation effort, we also introduce the Efficient Audio Alignment Annotator (EAAA), a companion tool that enables annotators to significantly speed-up their annotation processes.

An Efficient Method for Parsing Erroneous Input
Stuart Malone | Sue Felshin
Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Parsing Technologies

In a natural language processing system designed for language learners, it is necessary to accept both well-formed and ill-formed input. This paper describes a method of maintaining parsing efficiency for well-formed sentences while still accepting a wide range of ill-formed input.
