PADT 1.0 is going to be used by CoNLL-X, the Tenth Conference on Natural Language Learning, within their shared task of multi-lingual dependency parsing.

We recommend the users to consult the following documents, should they need further explanation to our treebank:

Learning to Use the Prague Arabic Dependency Treebank

[paper]

Feature-Based Tagger of Approximations of Functional Arabic Morphology

[paper] [slides]

CoNLL-X have their own wiki page and a discussion forum, too.
