5. CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have proposed a new algorithm for converting dependency structures to phrase structures and compared it with two existing ones. We have shown that our algorithm subsumes the two existing ones. By using simple heuristic rules and taking as input certain kinds of Treebank-specific information such as the types of arguments and modifiers that a head can take, our algorithm produces phrase structures that are very close to the ones in an annotated phrase-structure Treebank; moreover, the quality of the phrase structures produced by our algorithm can be further improved when more Treebank-specific information is used. We also argue for including empty categories in the dependency structures.</Paragraph>
