Semantic Role Labeling as Syntactic Dependency Parsing
What it is about
Measured on the CoNLL-2012 (OntoNotes) PropBank data converted to Stanford dependencies, over 98% of predicate–argument relations in English and Chinese fall into three tree configurations: the predicate dominates the argument (87% in English), the argument is dominated by the predicate's syntactic dependent in reverse — relative clauses and participles on nouns («broken glass») — or predicate and argument share a governor, through control/raising (xcomp) or coordination. The authors pack the role into the dependency label of each token as a joint label with one slot per configuration (plus a bit saying whether a coordinated predicate shares all its modifiers), so that SRL can be recovered from a labelled tree with over 99% oracle F1 for English. A biaffine dependency parser trained on these joint labels is competitive with the state of the art in span-based SRL. Ablations with oracle parts show that half the remaining errors are in labelling directly dominated arguments, and about a third come from wrong trees.
Ideas
- I1. Break the frame bench's role errors down by the three configurations: for each gold filler, is it a dependent of the predicate, a head reached through a relative clause or participle, or a sibling through control or coordination? Report Mova's recall per configuration (a small mode of
prag/src/fbench.rs). The paper says the first holds most relations, so if Mova's misses concentrate in the other two, the fix is in the rule layer ofprag/src/frames.rs, not in the tagger. - I2. Share modifiers across coordinated predicates by default, as the paper's one-bit «propagate all modifiers» did for most shared arguments: a time, place or manner phrase on the first of two coordinated verbs also holds for the second unless the second has its own of the same kind («In the morning the fox woke and ran to the river»). Same rule family as
ek-2021-can-predicate-argument-relationships-beI1; measure frame bench attrs/place F1. - I3. A measured experiment, only if I1 shows tree-level errors dominate: add a role slot to the labels the
enparser predicts for verb dependents (agent/patient/recipient/place/none), trained by the perceptron on the frames that the reader and the teacher agree on. It would let the parser and the roles correct each other, as the joint labels do here. Compare frame bench F1 against the rule reader, with the shuffled-label control.
For Mova
20. Syntax: the Universal Dependencies frame, 23-complementation.md (control), 24-coordination-subordination.md, 25-relative-clauses.md, 30-pragmatics-overview.md §4 (from syntax to pragmatics). Code: prag/src/fbench.rs, prag/src/frames.rs, en parser (only for I3). Measures: per-configuration recall on the frame bench, frame bench F1 by role.
