We present a new method for semantic role labeling in which arguments and semantic roles are jointly embedded in a shared vector space for a given predicate. These embeddings belong to a neural network, whose output represents the potential functions of a graphical model designed for the SRL task. We consider both local and structured learning methods and obtain strong results on standard PropB...

In this way it resembles the English ECM construction. But as we’ll see, there are some important differences. To start with, the embedded clause is finite, and shows agreement. Also, the embedded clause has the complementizer -ko, so in GB terms we would say it is a CP rather than an IP. We’ll see other differences later. Today we will be defending the view that the Korean ECM construction is ...

We investigate how both model-related factors and application-related factors affect the accuracy of distributional semantic models (DSMs) in the context of specialized lexicography, and how these factors interact. This holistic approach to the evaluation of DSMs provides valuable guidelines for the use of these models and insight into the kind of semantic information they capture.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of word clustering method on vocabulary learning of Iranian EFL learners through a case of semantic versus phonological clustering. To this effect, 80 homogeneous students from four intermediate classes at an English institute in Torbat e Heydariyeh participated in this research. They were assigned to four groups according to semantic versus phon...

Negative factors and their floating are the semantic marks of objective identification of the meaning of huaiyi and sub-categorization of sentence patterns of the huaiyi sentences. This article discusses negative factors, the floating of negative factors and recognition of different patterns of huaiyi sentences. It has also bee argued that there is an operational mark of syntactic-semantic gene...

We present a system developed for the CoNLL-2009 Shared Task (Hajič et al., 2009). We extend the Carreras (2007) parser to jointly annotate syntactic and semantic dependencies. This state-of-the-art parser factorizes the built tree in second-order factors. We include semantic dependencies in the factors and extend their score function to combine syntactic and semantic scores. The parser is coup...
