Talha Javed, Nizar Habash, Dima Taji

Abstract: We present Palmyra, a platform independent graphical dependency tree visualization and editing software. Palmyra has been specifically designed to support the complexities of syntactic annotation of morphologically rich languages, especially regarding easy change of morphological tokenization through edits, additions, deletions, splits and merges of words. Palmyra uses an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for editing tree structures, and provides pop-up boxes and keyboard shortcuts for part-of-speech and link label tagging.
