Gold Standard Annotations for Preposition and Verb Sense with Semantic Role Labels in Adult-Child Interactions (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing corpus of child-directed speech augments existing corpus for semantic role labels . sense and number of arguments were open to multiple interpretations due to rapidly changing discourse . |
| Approach: | They propose to augment an existing corpus of child-directed speech to provide supervised learning of semantic role labels. |
| Outcome: | The resulting corpus is a gold standard for supervised learning of semantic role labels in child-directed speech. |

UniteD-SRL: A Unified Dataset for Span- and Dependency-Based Multilingual and Cross-Lingual Semantic Role Labeling (2021.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Multilingual and cross-lingual Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) has attracted increasing attention as multilingual text representation techniques have become more effective and widely available. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark for multilingual and cross-lingual, span- and dependency-based SRL that provides expert-curated parallel annotations using a common predicate-argument structure inventory. |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark provides expert-curated parallel annotations using a common predicate-argument structure inventory, allowing direct comparisons across languages and encouraging studies on cross-lingual transfer in SRL. |

Exploring Non-Verbal Predicates in Semantic Role Labeling: Challenges and Opportunities (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing systems for SRL are incapable of transferring knowledge across different predicate types. |
| Approach: | They propose a new PropBank dataset which boasts wide coverage of multiple predicate types and a manually-annotated challenge set which gives equal importance to verbal, nominal, and adjectival predicates. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset shows that standard benchmarks do not provide an accurate picture of the current situation in SRL and that state-of-the-art systems are still incapable of transferring knowledge across different predicate types. |
