While the choice of morphological markers is lexically determined and highly idiosyncratic – fahren/Fahrt (drive/drive) vs. erklären/Erklärung (explain/explanation)-, syntactic combination follows general rules: the verb assigns nominative and accusative case to the subject and direct object, the derived noun systematically requires genitive case for both complements. These observations exhaust...

In this demonstration we showcase PIKES, a Semantic Role Labeling (SRL)-powered approach for Knowledge Extraction. PIKES implements a rule-based strategy that reinterprets SRL output in light of other linguistic analyses, such as dependency parsing and co-reference resolution, thus properly capturing and formalizing in RDF important linguistic aspects such as argument nominalization, frame-fram...

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 assign...
