In this paper, we observe various syntactic information for Korean parsing and propose a method to learn constraints and improve the efficiency of a parsing model by using the constraints. The proposed method has the following three characteristics. First, it improves the parsing efficiency since we use constraints that can prevent the parser from generating unsuitable candidates. Second, it is robust on a given Korean sentence because the attributes for the constraints are selected based on the syntactic and lexical idiosyncrasy of Korean. Third, it is easy to acquire constraints automatically from a treebank by using a decision tree learning algorithm. The experimental results show that the parser using acquired constraints can reduce the number of overgenerated candidates up to 1/2~1/3 of candidates and it runs 2~3 times faster than the one without any constraints.
