ULISSE: an unsupervised algorithm for detecting reliable dependency parses

In this paper we present ULISSE, an unsupervised linguistically--driven algorithm to select reliable parses from the output of a dependency parser. Different experiments were devised to show that the algorithm is robust enough to deal with the output of different parsers and with different languages, as well as to be used across different domains. In all cases, ULISSE appears to outperform the baseline algorithms.
