Dependency parser often fails on multi-word verbs

[Tooa]

Hi 👋 ,

with transitive phrasal verbs the direct object can appear between the verb and the particle. The dependency parser often fails in these cases and marks the relation as advmod instead of compound:prt. Here's a list of examples that fail.

• She put them away.
• Can I try it on?
• Do this homework over.
• They turned the light on.
• They shut the station down.
• She spelled everything out.
• I threw the headphones away

I tried the examples with the demo at http://corenlp.run/. Not sure, if you are interested in algorithm error classes in your bug tracker. Let me know if I can provide further assistance.

Thanks for showing these examples, it is always helpful for us to know about failure cases. We do have some new dependency parsers that we will be working on integrating in Stanford CoreNLP 3.9.0 in the fall.
