Guidelines
The goal of the thesis is to investigate the possibilities of connecting eye-tracking features with syntactic parsing.

The thesis will try to answer one or more of the following questions:
- Can eye tracking features be useful for syntactic parsing?
- Can syntactic features improve prediction of eye tracking features?
- What knowledge do eye tracking features bring into prediction of syntactic categories?
- Could eye tracking features be useful as a cheaper and/or language-independent alternative or supplement to classical treebank annotation?

The thesis will use the Dundee corpus, which contains more than 2000 sentences labeled with eye tracking data as well as morphosyntactic annotation.
