Annotating Noun Argument Structure for NomBank
نویسندگان
چکیده
When complete, NomBank will provide annotation of noun arguments in Penn Treebank II (PTB). In PropBank, University of Pennsylvania annotators provide similar information for verbs. Given nominalization/verb mappings, the combination of NomBank and PropBank allows for generalization of arguments across parts of speech. This paper describes our annotation task including factors which make assigning role labels to noun arguments a challenging task.

Annotating the Predicate-Argument Structure of Chinese Nominalizations
This paper describes the Chinese NomBank Project, the goal of which is to annotate the predicate-argument structure of nominalized predicates in Chinese. The Chinese Nombank extends the general framework of the English and Chinese Proposition Banks to the annotation of nominalized predicates and adds a layer of semantic annotation to the Chinese Treebank. We first outline the scope of the work ...
متن کاملLearning Predictive Structures for Semantic Role Labeling of NomBank
This paper presents a novel application of Alternating Structure Optimization (ASO) to the task of Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) of noun predicates in NomBank. ASO is a recently proposed linear multi-task learning algorithm, which extracts the common structures of multiple tasks to improve accuracy, via the use of auxiliary problems. In this paper, we explore a number of different auxiliary prob...
متن کاملThe Cross-Breeding of Dictionaries
Especially for English, the number of hand-coded electronic resources available to the Natural Language Processing Community keeps growing: annotated corpora, treebanks, lexicons, wordnets, etc. Unfortunately, initial funding for such projects is much easier to obtain than the additional funding needed to enlarge or improve upon such resources. Thus once one proves the usefulness of a resource,...
متن کاملThe NomBank Project: An Interim Report
This paper describes NomBank, a project that will provide argument structure for instances of common nouns in the Penn Treebank II corpus. NomBank is part of a larger effort to add additional layers of annotation to the Penn Treebank II corpus. The University of Pennsylvania’s PropBank, NomBank and other annotation projects taken together should lead to the creation of better tools for the auto...
متن کاملSemantic Role Labeling of NomBank: A Maximum Entropy Approach
This paper describes our attempt at NomBank-based automatic Semantic Role Labeling (SRL). NomBank is a project at New York University to annotate the argument structures for common nouns in the Penn Treebank II corpus. We treat the NomBank SRL task as a classification problem and explore the possibility of adapting features previously shown useful in PropBank-based SRL systems. Various NomBank-...
