Bootstrapping Semantic Role Labelers from Parallel Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach which uses the similarity in semantic structure of bilingual parallel sentences to bootstrap a pair of semantic role labeling (SRL) models. The setting is similar to co-training, except for the intermediate model required to convert the SRL structure between the two annotation schemes used for different languages. Our approach can facilitate the construction of SRL models for resource-poor languages, while preserving the annotation schemes designed for the target language and making use of the limited resources available for it. We evaluate the model on four language pairs, English vs German, Spanish, Czech and Chinese. Consistent improvements are observed over the self-training baseline.

Enhancing Semantic Role Labeling for Tweets Using Self-Training
Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) for tweets is a meaningful task that can benefit a wide range of applications such as finegrained information extraction and retrieval from tweets. One main challenge of the task is the lack of annotated tweets, which is required to train a statistical model. We introduce self-training to SRL, leveraging abundant unlabeled tweets to alleviate its depending on annota...
متن کاملTransferring Semantic Roles Using Translation and Syntactic Information
Our paper addresses the problem of annotation projection for semantic role labeling for resource-poor languages using supervised annotations from a resource-rich language through parallel data. We propose a transfer method that employs information from source and target syntactic dependencies as well as word alignment density to improve the quality of an iterative bootstrapping method. Our expe...

Automatic identification of words with semantic roles (such as Agent, Patient, Source, etc.) in sentences and attaching correct semantic roles to them, may lead to improvement in many natural language processing tasks including information extraction, question answering, text summarization and machine translation. Semantic role labeling systems usually take advantage of syntactic parsing and th...
متن کاملA Distant Supervision Approach to Semantic Role Labeling
Semantic role labeling has become a key module for many language processing applications such as question answering, information extraction, sentiment analysis, and machine translation. To build an unrestricted semantic role labeler, the first step is to develop a comprehensive proposition bank. However, creating such a bank is a costly enterprise, which has only been achieved for a handful of ...
متن کاملUnsupervised Semantic Role Induction via Split-Merge Clustering
In this paper we describe an unsupervised method for semantic role induction which holds promise for relieving the data acquisition bottleneck associated with supervised role labelers. 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. The method is simple, surprisin...
