👉 Dependency parsing, or dependency grammar, is a syntactic framework used in natural language processing (NLP) to analyze the structure of sentences by identifying how words relate to one another through grammatical dependencies. Each word in a sentence is linked to a head word that it depends on, forming a tree-like structure where edges represent these grammatical relationships. For example, in the sentence "The cat chased the mouse," "chased" would be the main verb, and "the mouse" would depend on it as its direct object. This method helps in understanding the roles of different words in conveying meaning, making it valuable for tasks like machine translation, sentiment analysis, and information extraction.
