Deeper syntax for better semantic parsing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Syntax plays an important role in the task of predicting the semantic structure of a sentence. But syntactic phenomena such as alternations, control and raising tend to obfuscate the relation between syntax and semantics. In this paper we predict the semantic structure of a sentence using a deeper syntax than what is usually done. This deep syntactic representation abstracts away from purely syntactic phenomena and proposes a structural organization of the sentence that is closer to the semantic representation. Experiments conducted on a French corpus annotated with semantic frames showed that a semantic parser reaches better performances with such a deep syntactic input.

Automatic identification of words with semantic roles (such as Agent, Patient, Source, etc.) in sentences and attaching correct semantic roles to them, may lead to improvement in many natural language processing tasks including information extraction, question answering, text summarization and machine translation. Semantic role labeling systems usually take advantage of syntactic parsing and th...
متن کاملCan Semantic Roles Improve Syntax-Based Machine Translation?
This paper compares the performance of a Tree-to-string (TTS) transducer with automatically generated/gold-standard parse trees and semantic roles. Experimental results show that improving the parsing quality can lead to significant improvement in MT performance and adding semantic roles in the syntax tree labels does not improve the TTS transducer. Another approach of using semantic roles: ske...
متن کاملExploiting Mutual Benefits between Syntax and Semantic Roles using Neural Network
We investigate mutual benefits between syntax and semantic roles using neural network models, by studying a parsing→SRL pipeline, a SRL→parsing pipeline, and a simple joint model by embedding sharing. The integration of syntactic and semantic features gives promising results in a Chinese Semantic Treebank, demonstrating large potentials of neural models for joint parsing and semantic role label...
متن کاملAbstract Syntax Networks for Code Generation and Semantic Parsing
Tasks like code generation and semantic parsing require mapping unstructured (or partially structured) inputs to well-formed, executable outputs. We introduce abstract syntax networks, a modeling framework for these problems. The outputs are represented as abstract syntax trees (ASTs) and constructed by a decoder with a dynamically-determined modular structure paralleling the structure of the o...
متن کاملDiscriminative Reranking for Semantic Parsing
Semantic parsing is the task of mapping natural language sentences to complete formal meaning representations. The performance of semantic parsing can be potentially improved by using discriminative reranking, which explores arbitrary global features. In this paper, we investigate discriminative reranking upon a baseline semantic parser, SCISSOR, where the composition of meaning representations...
