Stanford Dependency Theory

Stanford Dependency Theory is a way of analyzing sentences by identifying the relationships between words, focusing on how each word connects to others as a part of a structure. It represents sentences as a network of dependencies, where each word (like a noun or verb) depends on a "head" word, showing who is doing what to whom. This approach helps in understanding sentence meaning and grammar by highlighting these relationships, making it useful for language processing tasks like translation and parsing. Essentially, it maps the hierarchical links between words to reveal their grammatical roles and connections.
