We present an algorithm that iteratively splits and merges clusters representing semantic roles, thereby leading from an initial clustering to a final clustering of better quality.

We proposed a split-merge algorithm that iteratively manipulates clusters representing semantic roles whilst trading off cluster purity with collocation.

itive and requires no manual effort for training.

Swier and Stevenson (2004) induce role labels with a bootstrapping scheme where the set of labeled instances is iteratively expanded using a classifier trained on previously labeled instances.

We formulate the induction of semantic roles as a clustering problem and propose a split-merge algorithm which iteratively manipulates clusters representing semantic roles.

Our algorithm works by iteratively splitting and merging clusters of argument instances in order to arrive at increasingly accurate representations of semantic roles.

Then [3 is iteratively decreased again until it becomes zero, after which 7 is decreased by another 0.05.

In this approach, we iteratively apply the same efficient sequence algorithms for the underlying directional models, and thereby optimize a dual bound on the model objective.

In particular, we can iteratively apply exact inference to the subgraph problems, adjusting their potentials to reflect the constraints of the full problem.

We can iteratively search for such a 11 via sub-gradient descent.

4For Iterative EM, we start with a channel of size 101x101 (K =100) and in every pass we iteratively increase the vocabulary sizes by 50, repeating the training procedure until the channel size becomes 351x351.

Instead of instantiating the entire channel model (with all its parameters), we iteratively train the model in small steps.

Goto Step 2 and repeat the procedure, extending the channel size iteratively in each stage.
