We jointly train models when two languages are similar according to linguistic typology and then ensemble the models using a simple re-parse algorithm. We outperform the baseline method by 4.4% (2.1%) on average on development (test) set in CoNLL 2018 UD Shared Task. %R 10.18653/v1/K18-2026 %U https://aclanthology.org/K18-2026 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/K18-2026 %P 256-263
