The statistical parser is an English parser trained on the Penn TreeBank. This annotator provides a Jet interface to the parser written by Dan Bikel at Penn, which is in turn based on the parser by Michael Collins.
statParse adds an annotation of the form <constit cat=category children=[child1 child2 ...]> for each non-terminal constituent in the parse tree. Here category is the non-terminal grammar category and child1 child2 ... are the annotations of the immediate constituent nodes.
