Developing a Universal Dependencies Treebank for Ukrainian Parliamentary Speech
Maria Shvedova | Arsenii Lukashevskyi | Andriy Rysin
Proceedings of the Fourth Ukrainian Natural Language Processing Workshop (UNLP 2025)

This paper presents a new Universal Dependencies (UD) treebank based on Ukrainian parliamentary transcripts, complementing the existing UD resources for Ukrainian. The corpus includes manually annotated texts from key historical sessions of the Verkhovna Rada, capturing not only official rhetoric but also features of colloquial spoken language. The annotation combines UDPipe2 and TagText parsers, with subsequent manual correction to ensure syntactic and morphological accuracy. A detailed comparison of tagsets and the disambiguation strategy employed by TagText is provided. To demonstrate the applicability of the resource, the study examines vocative and nominative case variation in direct address using a large-scale UD-annotated corpus of parliamentary texts.

Creating a POS Gold Standard Corpus of Modern Ukrainian
Vasyl Starko | Andriy Rysin
Proceedings of the Second Ukrainian Natural Language Processing Workshop (UNLP)

This paper presents an ongoing project to create the Ukrainian Brown Corpus (BRUK), a disambiguated corpus of Modern Ukrainian. Inspired by and loosely based on the original Brown University corpus, BRUK contains one million words, spans 11 years (2010–2020), and represents edited written Ukrainian. Using stratified random sampling, we have selected fragments of texts from multiple sources to ensure maximum variety, fill nine predefined categories, and produce a balanced corpus. BRUK has been automatically POS-tagged with the help of our tools (a large morphological dictionary of Ukrainian and a tagger). A manually disambiguated and validated subset of BRUK (450,000 words) has been made available online. This gold standard, the biggest of its kind for Ukrainian, fills a critical need in the NLP ecosystem for this language. The ultimate goal is to produce a fully disambiguated one-million corpus of Modern Ukrainian.
