"abstract": "This article discusses word delimitation issues in Universal Dependencies (UD) Japanese. The Japanese language is morphologically rich and does not use white space to delimit words. Word delimitation is an important issue in the development of language resources. Even though UD defines the base unit word using syntactic words, UD Japanese utilises Short Unit Words (SUW), which are nearly the same as morphemes, the base unit word. We developed another word delimitation version of UD Japanese resources that uses Long Unit Words (LUW) as the base unit word, which can be regarded as syntactic words in Japanese. We then evaluated their reproducibility through publicly available language resources. The results show that the word delimitation and dependency structure of LUW-based UD Japanese reproduce the results using SUW-based UD Japanese. However, the lemmatisation of LUW is still more complex than that of SUW for a morphologically rich language.",

"text": "Universal Dependencies (Nivre et al., 2016 ) (UD) define the base unit word of dependency annotation as syntactic words. Languages with white spaces in their word delimitation tend to utilise space as word boundaries. However, languages that do not use white space to delimit words (e.g. Chinese (Xia, 2000; Leung et al., 2016) and Korean (Chun et al., 2018) ) present issues in defining their syntactic words. For example, while UD Chinese defines word delimitation using the available word-segmented corpus, UD Classical Chinese (Yasuoka, 2019) did not define syntactic words and utilised characters as the word unit. Even when we use characters as the base unit, the lexicon size is approximately 7,000 for simplified Chinese characters and 13,000 for traditional Chinese characters. Murawaki (2019) pointed out that the preceding versions of the UD Japanese utilise morphemes as the base unit. The word delimitation is based on the Short Unit Word ( : hereafter SUW), defined by the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics, Japan (hereafter NINJAL). Currently, we have the SUW-based word lexicon UniDic (Den et al., 2007) with 879,222 entries and morpheme-based word embeddings NWJC2vec (Asahara, 2018) with 1,589,634 entries for Japanese. The large size of the lexicon is because Japanese is a morphologically rich language. When we use a longer word unit as the base unit, the lexicon size is larger, and the token type ratio becomes larger. Practically, SUW-based UD Japanese resources can be developed with less effort from publicly available language resources. Thus, we had utilised SUW as the base unit word in UD Japanese.",

Bunsetsu-based Japanese dependency structures have the following properties useful when developing dependency parsers: They are (a) mostly projective, (b) strictly head-final, and (c) easily produce Bunsetsu delimitation by chunkers. Bunsetsu-based dependency parsers have mainly developed been in the Japanese natural language processing fields (Kudo and Matsumoto, 2002; Kawahara and Kurohashi, 2006) .

"text": "LUW delimitation is defined as constituents in the Bunsetsu. Because LUWs have their POS and morphological features of conjugation, we can use LUW as the syntactic words in the UD standard. One compound-dependent word with prefix morphemes is the semantic head LUW word in Bunsetsu. Most of the SUWs of postpositions, auxiliary verbs, and suffixes are regarded as one LUW. However, NINJAL LUW delimitation defines multi-word functional expression as one LUW. This section presents availability of the language resources. Table 1 shows the language resource availability for the delimitation. Characters can be produced by simple scripts. Because the Minimal Unit is the unit to determine SUW delimitation manually, there is no publicly available resource for doing so. UniDic 1 is an SUW-based lexicon which can be used in the word segmenter MeCab (Kudo et al., 2004) 2 . Neither LUW nor Bunsetsu lexicons currently exist. The chunker Comainu 3 (Kozawa et al., 2014) can produce LUW and Bunsetsu based on MeCab outputs.

We retrained the UDPipe model with the three-word delimitation of v2.5, v2.8, and LUW corpus (UDPipe (T) and Train). We used UDpipe v1.2.0 5 . Since the UDPipe model provided by the LINDAT/CLARIN infrastructure 6 was initially trained by v2.5, we also included the result of the original UDPipe model (UDPipe (O) and Original). The training of dependency analysis layers of UDPipe can use externally trained word embeddings. We compared the results with and without SUW-based word embeddings, NWJC2vec (Asahara, 2018) (Train w/o vec or Train w/ vec). SUW and LUW can be reproduced by the morphological analysers MeCab and chunker Comainu, which are trained on data other than UD Japanese. MeCab means that we use MeCab-0.996 with UniDic-2.1.2 output for the tokenisation. Comainu means that we use Comainu-0.72 output for the tokenisation. 7 We used evaluation scripts of CoNLL 2018 shared tasks (Zeman et al., 2018) . Words, UPOS, XPOS, and Lemma are their F 1 scores. UAS (Unlabelled Attachment Score) and LAS (Labelled Attachment Score) are standard evaluation metrics in dependency parsing results. CLAS (Nivre and Fang, 2017) is defined as the labelled F 1 -score over all relations except functional and punctuation relations based on LAS. MLAS (Zeman et al., 2018) is an extension of CLAS, in which function words are not ignored, but treated as features of content words. In addition, the part-of-speech tags and morphological features are evaluated. BLEX (Zeman et al., 2018) is another extension of CLAS, incorporating lemmatisation instead of morphological features. Table 3 shows the results. First, we show the reproducibility of word delimitation. Whereas the word delimitation of v2.5 (IBM) was 91.94-91.96% by UDPipe, the values of v2.8 (SUW) and LUW were 96.14% and 95.02%, respectively.

"text": "Next, we discuss dependency analysis accuracy. When we used Gold word delimitation, v2.5 outperformed the others. However, because the word delimitation accuracy of v2.5 was low, the UAS and LAS scores dropped from 93.36-95.20% to 75.43-77.91% for the raw sentence. The UAS and LAS scores of SUW were 85.22% and 83.50% with UDPipe, and 88.22% and 86.32% with MeCab for the raw sentences. The UAS and LAS scores of LUW were 83.49% and 82.07% with UDPipe, and 88.16% and 86.45% with Comainu for the raw sentences. When using publicly available word segmenters (MeCab and Comainu), the difference between SUW and LUW for dependency analysis accuracy (UAS, LAS) was not significant. Whereas the CLAS and MLAS results are similar to the UAS and LAS results, the BLEX of LUW is significantly lower than that of SUW. This is because the lemmatisation of LUW is quite difficult. Despite the low lemmatisation accuracy of LUW, the BLEX of LUW outperforms that of v2.5. Finally, we confirmed the effect of word embeddings for UDPipe. Table 4 shows the effect of word embeddings. The word embeddings NWJC2vec (Asahara, 2018) is based on SUW. Thus, whereas the dependency accuracy of IBM and LUW increased by 0.20-0.44 and 0.24-0.29, respectively, the dependency accuracy of SUW increased by 0.82-0.92. The results suggest that the availability of word embeddings is another important factor in the development of UD language resources. As shown by the presented token-type ratios in Table 1 , LUW-based word embeddings are not practical in the current state of Japanese natural language processing. Even though the SUW word embeddings are a subset of LUW word definitions, the dependency accuracy of LUW is comparable to that of SUW.",
