Introduction to dependency parsing
If you are already familiar with spaCy, you must have come across the spaCy dependency parser. Though many developers see dependency parser on the spaCy documentation, they're shy about using it or don't know how to use this feature to the fullest. In this part, you'll explore a systematic way of representing a sentence syntactically. Let's start with what dependency parsing actually is.
What is dependency parsing?
In the previous section, we focused on POS tags—syntactic categories of words. Though POS tags provide information about neighbor words' tags as well, they do not give away any relations between words that are not neighbors in the given sentence.
In this section, we'll focus on dependency parsing—a more structured way of exploring the sentence syntax. As the name suggests, dependency parsing is related to analyzing sentence structures via dependencies between the tokens. A dependency...
