Universal Dependencies (UD) is a project developing cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages.
The goal is to facilitate multilingual parser development, cross-lingual learning, and parsing research from a language typology perspective.
Since UD was launched ten years ago, it has grown into a large community effort, involving over 600 researchers around the world.
Together they produce treebanks for 168 languages and enable new research directions in both NLP and linguistics.
In this talk, I will present UD from three perspectives: UD as an annotation scheme, UD as a data repository, and UD as a research community. In addition, I will present plans for a new project that reviews the UD annotation scheme from the perspective of linguistic typology, with the goal of providing better support for the addition of new languages to UD and improving the guidelines in future versions of UD.
