UBC-UPC: Sequential SRL Using Selectional Preferences. An approach with Maximum Entropy Markov Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a sequential Semantic Role Labeling system that describes the tagging problem as a Maximum Entropy Markov Model. The system uses full syntactic information to select BIO-tokens from input data, and classifies them sequentially using state-of-the-art features, with the addition of Selectional Preference features. The system presented achieves competitive performance in the CoNLL-2005 shared task dataset and it ranks first in the SRL subtask of the Semeval-2007 task 17.

Can Selectional Preferences Help Automatic Semantic Role Labeling?
We describe a topic model based approach for selectional preference. Using the topic features generated by an LDA model on the extracted predicate-arguments over the Chinese Gigaword corpus, we show improvement to our state-of-the-art Chinese SRL system by 2.34 F1 points on arguments of nominal predicates, 0.40 F1 point on arguments of verb predicates, and 0.66 F1 point overall. More over, simi...
متن کاملImproving Chunk-based Semantic Role Labeling with Lexical Features
We present an approach for Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) using Conditional Random Fields in a joint identification/classification step. The approach is based on shallow syntactic information (chunks) and a number of lexicalized features such as selectional preferences and automatically inferred similar words, extracted using lexical databases and distributional similarity metrics. We use semanti...
متن کاملCollaborative Filtering Efficiently Using Purchase Orders
We propose a new collaborative filtering method that can predict the next purchase item by efficiently using the sequential information in purchase histories for recommendations. Markov models and maximum entropy models are both widely used techniques for such recommendations. In Markov models, parameters can be estimated and updated fast and efficiently, but predictions may not be accurate. On...
متن کاملDgfs-cl Comparing Computational Models of Selectional Preferences – Second-order Co-occurrence vs. Latent Semantic Clusters
Selectional preferences (i.e., semantic restrictions on the realisation of predicate complements) are of great interest to research in Computational Linguistics, both from a lexicographic and from an applied (wrt data sparseness) perspective. This poster presents a comparison of three computational approaches to selectional preferences: (i) an intuitive distributional approach that uses second-...
متن کاملTagging Funding Agencies and Grants in Scientific Articles using Sequential Learning Models
In this paper we present a solution for tagging funding bodies and grants in scientific articles using a combination of trained sequential learning models, namely conditional random fields (CRF), hidden markov models (HMM) and maximum entropy models (MaxEnt), on a benchmark set created in-house. We apply the trained models to address the BioASQ challenge 5c, which is a newly introduced task tha...
