| Challenge: | Semantic role labeling (SRL) is a shallow semantic parsing task that identifies "who did what to whom when, where etc." SRL is useful in a wide range of downstream NLP tasks and real-world applications. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to generate shallow semantic parsing tasks using monolingual SRL and multilingual parallel data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves the quality of the generated propbanks. |

| Challenge: | Existing evaluation scripts for semantic role labeling do not consider error propagation . existing evaluation script does not consider argument independent of predicate sense . |
| Approach: | They propose a more strict SRL evaluation metric PriMeSRL to address these issues . they propose to use a metric that measures the quality of the underlying SRL models . |
| Outcome: | The proposed metric reduces quality evaluation of all SoTA SRL models and penalizes failures. |

| Challenge: | a new corpus on the history domain is being created to mine text in the domain . primary motivation for the project is the need to query the material in a non-linear way . |
| Approach: | They propose to use a Brazilian historical-biographical dictionary as a resource for text mining. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus is a reference work on the Brazilian history domain . it contains almost 12 millions tokens in about three hundred thousand sentences . the authors argue that the proposed corpu is linguistically motivated . |
