Can Selectional Preferences Help Automatic Semantic Role Labeling?

چکیده
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, similar gains were achieved on out-ofgenre test data, as well as on English SRL using the same technique.

A Simple, Similarity-based Model for Selectional Preferences
We propose a new, simple model for the automatic induction of selectional preferences, using corpus-based semantic similarity metrics. Focusing on the task of semantic role labeling, we compute selectional preferences for semantic roles. In evaluations the similarity-based model shows lower error rates than both Resnik’s WordNet-based model and the EM-based clustering model, but has coverage pr...

متن کاملSelection Preference Basede Verb Sense Disambiguation Using WordNet
Selectional preferences are a source of linguistic information commonly applied to the task of Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD). To date, WSD systems using selectional preferences as the main disambiguation mechanism have achieved limited success. One possible reason for this limitation is the limited number of semantic roles used in the construction of selectional preferences. This study invest...
متن کاملSelectional Preferences for Semantic Role Classification
This paper focuses on a well-known open issue in Semantic Role Classification (SRC) research: the limited influence and sparseness of lexical features. We mitigate this problem using models that integrate automatically learned selectional preferences (SP). We explore a range of models based on WordNet and distributional-similarity SPs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the SRC task is better mod...
متن کاملGeneralizing over Lexical Features: Selectional Preferences for Semantic Role Classification
This paper explores methods to alleviate the effect of lexical sparseness in the classification of verbal arguments. We show how automatically generated selectional preferences are able to generalize and perform better than lexical features in a large dataset for semantic role classification. The best results are obtained with a novel second-order distributional similarity measure, and the posi...
