Description

ParserEvaluator currently calculates Bracketing FMeasure with no exceptions as to which constituents should be considered. EVALB distributes a set of exceptions in a COLLINS.prm parameter file which are the most commonly used in the literature when evaluating Penn Treebank parsers. These parameters allow to ignore punctuation, trace nodes, etc. to evaluate a parser.

It would be nice to add the functionalities to pass these options to the current implementation of the ParserEvaluator.
