What is NLP Parser?

A natural language parser is a
program that works out the
grammatical structure of
sentences, for instance, which
groups of words go together (as
"phrases") and which words are the
subject or object of a verb.

The Stanford Parser: Dependency Parser

 A dependency parser analyzes the

grammatical structure of a sentence,
establishing relationships between
"head" words and words which
modify those heads.

How its works?

This parser builds a parse by performing
a linear-time scan over the words of a
sentence. At every step it maintains a
partial parse, a stack of words which are
currently being processed, and a buffer
of words yet to be processed.
The parser continues to apply transitions
to its state until its buffer is empty and
the dependency graph is completed.

Advantages
Dependency parsing is easy to adapt to new
languages.
Well-adapted to representing free word-order.
It is preferred representation for many new
linguistic corpora.
Also developing in the direction of multilingual parsing where a single system is
required to be successful with different
language.
Can use this to building better NLP systems
