PropBank Annotation of Multilingual Light Verb Constructions

چکیده
In this paper, we have addressed the task of PropBank annotation of light verb constructions, which like multi-word expressions pose special problems. To arrive at a solution, we have evaluated 3 different possible methods of annotation. The final method involves three passes: (1) manual identification of a light verb construction, (2) annotation based on the light verb construction‟s Frame File, and (3) a deterministic merging of the first two passes. We also discuss how in various languages the light verb constructions are identified and can be distinguished from the non-light verb word groupings.

Comprehensive and Consistent PropBank Light Verb Annotation
Recent efforts have focused on expanding the annotation coverage of PropBank from verb relations to adjective and noun relations, as well as light verb constructions (e.g., make an offer, take a bath). While each new relation type has presented unique annotation challenges, ensuring consistent and comprehensive annotation of light verb constructions has proved particularly challenging, given th...
متن کاملSemantic Roles for Nominal Predicates: Building a Lexical Resource
The linguistic annotation of noun-verb complex predicates (also termed as light verb constructions) is challenging as these predicates are highly productive in Hindi. For semantic role labelling, each argument of the noun-verb complex predicate must be given a role label. For complex predicates, frame files need to be created specifying the role labels for each noun-verb complex predicate. The ...
متن کاملMultilingual Propbank Annotation Tools: Cornerstone and Jubilee
This paper demonstrates two annotation tools related to Propbank: Cornerstone and Jubilee. Propbank is a corpus in which the arguments of each verb predicate are annotated with their semantic roles. Propbank annotation also requires the choice of a sense id for each predicate, defined in the corresponding frameset file. Jubilee expedites the annotation process by displaying several resources of...
متن کاملEnglish Light Verb Construction Identification Using Lexical Knowledge
This research describes the development of a supervised classifier of English light verb constructions, for example, take a walk and make a speech. This classifier relies on features from dependency parses, OntoNotes sense tags, WordNet hypernyms and WordNet lexical file information. Evaluation shows that this system achieves an 89% F1 score (four points above the state of the art) on the BNC t...
متن کاملPropBank: Semantics of New Predicate Types
This research focuses on expanding PropBank, a corpus annotated with predicate argument structures, with new predicate types; namely, noun, adjective and complex predicates, such as Light Verb Constructions. This effort is in part inspired by a sister project to PropBank, the Abstract Meaning Representation project, which also attempts to capture “who is doing what to whom” in a sentence, but d...
