Graph Alignment for Semi-Supervised Semantic Role Labeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unknown lexical items present a major obstacle to the development of broadcoverage semantic role labeling systems. We address this problem with a semisupervised learning approach which acquires training instances for unseen verbs from an unlabeled corpus. Our method relies on the hypothesis that unknown lexical items will be structurally and semantically similar to known items for which annotations are available. Accordingly, we represent known and unknown sentences as graphs, formalize the search for the most similar verb as a graph alignment problem and solve the optimization using integer linear programming. Experimental results show that role labeling performance for unknown lexical items improves with training data produced automatically by our method.

Large-scale annotated corpora are a prerequisite to developing high-performance semantic role labeling systems. Unfortunately, such corpora are expensive to produce, limited in size, and may not be representative. Our work aims to reduce the annotation effort involved in creating resources for semantic role labeling via semi-supervised learning. The key idea of our approach is to find novel ins...
متن کاملSemi-supervised Semantic Role Labeling via Graph-Alignment
Semantic roles, which constitute a shallow form of meaning representation, have attracted increasing interest in recent years. Various applications have been shown to benefit from this level of semantic analysis, and a large number of publications has addressed the problem of semantic role labeling, i.e., the task of automatically identifying semantic roles in arbitrary sentences. A major limit...

We investigate a graph-based semi-supervised learning approach for labeling semantic components of questions such as topic, focus, event, etc., for question understanding task. We focus on graph construction to handle learning with dense/sparse graphs and present Relaxed Linear Neighborhoods method, in which each node is linearly constructed from varying sizes of its neighbors based on the dens...
متن کاملSemi-Supervised Semantic Role Labeling: Approaching from an Unsupervised Perspective
Reducing the reliance of semantic role labeling (SRL) methods on human-annotated data has become an active area of research. However, the prior work has largely focused on either (1) looking into ways to improve supervised SRL systems by producing surrogate annotated data and reducing sparsity of lexical features or (2) considering completely unsupervised semantic role induction settings. In th...
