construction, we achieve a medium score. This result is encourag<strong>in</strong>g because<br />
our <strong>Treebank</strong> has highest number <strong>of</strong> representation <strong>of</strong> this data. If such data<br />
can automatically be labeled for correct relation for most <strong>of</strong> the time, a lot <strong>of</strong><br />
human labor and time will be saved. The overall result <strong>of</strong> right attachment<br />
and label<strong>in</strong>g is 89.35%. We note that predict<strong>in</strong>g r6v relation where a genitive<br />
noun directly modifies a verb is very difficult because <strong>of</strong> the non-contiguous<br />
occurrence <strong>of</strong> the genitive modifier and the head <strong>in</strong> such <strong>in</strong>stance. The ma<strong>in</strong><br />
reason for this can be attributed to the greedy selection made by the rule<br />
<strong>based</strong> algorithm, <strong>in</strong> the sense that it will pick up the first context that one <strong>of</strong><br />
the rule satisfies without verify<strong>in</strong>g other contexts. For example, given the<br />
follow<strong>in</strong>g sentence, rAm kA ghar jAnA. „Ram‟s go<strong>in</strong>g home‟, the system will<br />
connect rAm with ghar and assign r6 label without consider<strong>in</strong>g the possibility<br />
<strong>of</strong> ram‟s be<strong>in</strong>g connected to jAnA which would be the right attachment <strong>in</strong> this<br />
case. To handle this issue, we plan to use a technique that considers all the<br />
candidates for head and selects the most probable candidate as the head.<br />
7 Conclusion<br />
The paper presents a detailed study <strong>of</strong> genitive data <strong>in</strong> H<strong>in</strong>di <strong>Treebank</strong>. We<br />
have exam<strong>in</strong>ed H<strong>in</strong>di dependency <strong>Treebank</strong> and noted down various<br />
syntactico-semantic relations <strong>in</strong> which genitive noun occurs with respect to<br />
its head. We have attempted to trace syntactic contexts which can be used for<br />
predict<strong>in</strong>g the relations automatically. The motivation is to automate the<br />
process <strong>of</strong> label<strong>in</strong>g genitive data. The rule <strong>based</strong> system implemented <strong>in</strong> the<br />
paper works quite well and predicts the syntactic contexts to a great extent.<br />
The output can be verified by the human annotators thus mak<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
<strong>Treebank</strong> development semi-automatic for the genitive data.<br />
