AbstractAlthough recent developments in neural architectures and pre-trained representations have greatly increased state-of-the-art model performance on fully-supervised semantic role labeling (SRL), the task remains challenging for languages where supervised SRL …...
Unifying Cross-Lingual Semantic Role Labeling with Heterogeneous Linguistic Resources
AbstractWhile cross-lingual techniques are finding increasing success in a wide range of Natural Language Processing tasks, their application to Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) has been strongly limited by the fact …...
An MRC Framework for Semantic Role Labeling
AbstractSemantic Role Labeling (SRL) aims at recognizing the predicate-argument structure of a sentence and can be decomposed into two subtasks: predicate disambiguation and argument labeling. Prior work deals with these …...
Iterative Span Selection: Self-Emergence of Resolving Orders in Semantic Role Labeling
AbstractSemantic Role Labeling (SRL) is the task of labeling semantic arguments for marked semantic predicates. Semantic arguments and their predicates are related in various distinct manners, of which certain semantic …...
Label Definitions Improve Semantic Role Labeling
AbstractArgument classification is at the core of Semantic Role Labeling. Given a sentence and the predicate, a semantic role label is assigned to each argument of the predicate. While semantic …...
Modeling Syntactic-Semantic Dependency Correlations in Semantic Role Labeling Using Mixture Models
AbstractIn this paper, we propose a mixture model-based end-to-end method to model the syntactic-semantic dependency correlation in Semantic Role Labeling (SRL). Semantic dependencies in SRL are modeled as a distribution …...
MuCPAD: A Multi-Domain Chinese Predicate-Argument Dataset
AbstractDuring the past decade, neural network models have made tremendous progress on in-domain semantic role labeling (SRL). However, performance drops dramatically under the out-of-domain setting. In order to facilitate research …...
Probing for Predicate Argument Structures in Pretrained Language Models
AbstractThanks to the effectiveness and wide availability of modern pretrained language models (PLMs), recently proposed approaches have achieved remarkable results in dependency- and span-based, multilingual and cross-lingual Semantic Role Labeling …...
Semantic Role Labeling as Dependency Parsing: Exploring Latent Tree Structures inside Arguments
AbstractSemantic role labeling (SRL) is a fundamental yet challenging task in the NLP community. Recent works of SRL mainly fall into two lines: 1) BIO-based; 2) span-based. Despite ubiquity, they …...
Syntax-driven Approach for Semantic Role Labeling
AbstractAs an important task to analyze the semantic structure of a sentence, semantic role labeling (SRL) aims to locate the semantic role (e.g., agent) of noun phrases with respect to …...
The Robotic Surgery Procedural Framebank
AbstractRobot-Assisted minimally invasive robotic surgery is the gold standard for the surgical treatment of many pathological conditions, and several manuals and academic papers describe how to perform these interventions. These …...
To Augment or Not to Augment? A Comparative Study on Text Augmentation Techniques for Low-Resource NLP
AbstractData-hungry deep neural networks have established themselves as the de facto standard for many NLP tasks, including the traditional sequence tagging ones. Despite their state-of-the-art performance on high-resource languages, they …...
Universal Semantic Annotator: the First Unified API for WSD, SRL and Semantic Parsing
AbstractIn this paper, we present the Universal Semantic Annotator (USeA), which offers the first unified API for high-quality automatic annotations of texts in 100 languages through state-of-the-art systems for Word …...
Using Semantic Role Labeling to Improve Neural Machine Translation
AbstractDespite impressive progress in machine translation in recent years, it has occasionally been argued that current systems are still mainly based on pattern recognition and that further progress may be …...
Characterizing the Entities in Harmful Memes: Who is the Hero, the Villain, the Victim?
AbstractMemes can sway people’s opinions over social media as they combine visual and textual information in an easy-to-consume manner. Since memes instantly turn viral, it becomes crucial to infer their …...
CRAPES:Cross-modal Annotation Projection for Visual Semantic Role Labeling
AbstractAutomatic image comprehension is an important yet challenging task that includes identifying actions in an image and corresponding action participants. Most current approaches to this task, now termed Grounded Situation …...
Evaluating of Large Language Models in Relationship Extraction from Unstructured Data: Empirical Study from Holocaust Testimonies
AbstractRelationship extraction from unstructured data remains one of the most challenging tasks in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). The complexity of relationship extraction arises from the need to …...
Extracting Victim Counts from Text
AbstractDecision-makers in the humanitarian sector rely on timely and exact information during crisis events. Knowing how many civilians were injured during an earthquake is vital to allocate aids properly. Information …...
FACTIFY-5WQA: 5W Aspect-based Fact Verification through Question Answering
AbstractAutomatic fact verification has received significant attention recently. Contemporary automatic fact-checking systems focus on estimating truthfulness using numerical scores which are not human-interpretable. A human fact-checker generally follows several logical …...
