Abstract | Semantic role labels are the representation of the grammatically relevant aspects of a sentence meaning. |
Abstract | In this paper, we compare two annotation schemes, PropBank and VerbNet, in a task-independent, general way, analysing how well they fare in capturing the linguistic generalisations that are known to hold for semantic role labels , and consequently how well they grammaticalise aspects of meaning. |
Introduction | Semantic role labels are the representation of the grammatically relevant aspects of a sentence meaning. |
Introduction | The annotated PropBank corpus, and therefore implicitly its role labels inventory, has been largely adopted in NLP because of its exhaustiveness and because it is coupled with syntactic annotation, properties that make it very attractive for the automatic leam-ing of these roles and their further applications to NLP tasks. |
Introduction | (2007) show that augmenting PropB ank labels with VerbNet labels increases generalisation of the less frequent labels, such as ARG2, to new verbs and new domains, they also show that PropBank labels perform better overall, in a semantic role labelling task. |
Materials and Method | Verbal predicates in the Penn Treebank (PTB) receive a label REL and their arguments are annotated with abstract semantic role labels A0-A5 or AA for those complements of the predicative verb that are considered arguments, while those complements of the verb labelled with a semantic functional label in the original PTB receive the composite semantic role label AM-X, where X stands for labels such as LOC, TMP or ADV, for locative, temporal and adverbial modifiers respectively. |
Abstract | We describe a semantic role labeling system that makes primary use of CCG-based features. |
Abstract | This analysis also suggests that simultaneous incremental parsing and semantic role labeling may lead to performance gains in both tasks. |
Introduction | Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) is the process of assigning semantic roles to strings of words in a sentence according to their relationship to the semantic predicates expressed in the sentence. |
Introduction | An effective semantic role labeling system must recognize the differences between different configurations: |
Results | The results for gold standard parses are comparable to the winning system of the CoNLL 2005 shared task on semantic role labeling (Punyakanok et al., 2008). |
Background | This paper addresses two areas of work in event semantics, narrative event chains and semantic role labeling . |
Background | 2.2 Semantic Role Labeling |
Background | Most work on semantic role labeling , however, is supervised, using Propbank (Palmer et al., 2005), FrameNet (Baker et al., 1998) or VerbNet (Kipper et al., 2000) as gold standard roles and training data. |
Discussion | Our argument learning algorithm not only performs unsupervised induction of situation-specific role classes, but the resulting roles and linking structures may also offer the possibility of (unsupervised) FrameNet-style semantic role labeling . |
Frames and Roles | Most previous work on unsupervised semantic role labeling assumes that the set of possible |
Abstract | Our findings suggest that selectional preferences have potential for improving a full system for Semantic Role Labeling . |
Experimental Setting | The test set contains 4,134 pairs (covering 505 different predicates) to be classified into the appropriate role label . |
Introduction | Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) systems usually approach the problem as a sequence of two subtasks: argument identification and classification. |
Introduction | This first step allows us to analyze the potential of selectional preferences as a source of semantic knowledge for discriminating among different role labels . |
Selectional Preference Models | Given a target sentence where a predicate and several potential argument and adjunct head words occur, the goal is to assign a role label to each of the head words. |
Abstract | A number of studies have presented machine-learning approaches to semantic role labeling with availability of corpora such as FrameNet and PropBank. |
Conclusion | We confirmed that modeling the role generalization at feature level was better than the conventional approach that replaces semantic role labels . |
Design of Role Groups | We define a role group as a set of role labels grouped by a criterion. |
Introduction | Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) is a task of analyzing predicate-argument structures in texts. |
