Sentence Compression with Semantic Role Constraints
For sentence compression, we propose new semantic constraints to directly capture the relations between a predicate and its arguments, whereas the existing approaches have focused...

Crosslingual Induction of Semantic Roles
We argue that multilingual parallel data provides a valuable source of indirect supervision for induction of shallow semantic representations. Specifically, we consider unsupervi...

Template-Based Information Extraction without the Templates
Standard algorithms for template-based information extraction (IE) require predefined template schemas, and often labeled data, to learn to extract their slot fillers (e.g., an ...

TimeML Events Recognition and Classification: Learning CRF Models with Semantic Roles
This paper analyzes the contribution of semantic roles to TimeML event recognition and classification. For that purpose, an approach using conditional random fields with a variety...

Semi-supervised Semantic Role Labeling Using the Latent Words Language Model
Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) has proved to be a valuable tool for performing automatic analysis of natural language texts. Currently however, most systems rely on a large training...

Chinese Semantic Role Labeling with Shallow Parsing
Most existing systems for Chinese Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) make use of full syntactic parses. In this paper, we evaluate SRL methods that take partial parses as inputs. We fir...

A Comparative Study on Generalization of Semantic Roles in FrameNet
A number of studies have presented machine-learning approaches to semantic role labeling with availability of corpora such as FrameNet and PropBank. These corpora define the seman...

Unsupervised Learning of Narrative Schemas and their Participants
We describe an unsupervised system for learning narrative schemas, coherent sequences or sets of events (arrested(POLICE,SUSPECT), convicted( JUDGE, SUSPECT)) whose arguments are ...

Improving Semantic Role Labeling with Word Sense
Semantic role labeling (SRL) not only needs lexical and syntactic information, but also needs word sense information. However, because of the lack of corpus annotated with both wo...

What a Parser Can Learn from a Semantic Role Labeler and Vice Versa
In many NLP systems, there is a unidirectional flow of information in which a parser supplies input to a semantic role labeler. In this paper, we build a system that allows inform...
