A Global Deep Reranking Model For Semantic Role Classification

The current approaches to semantic role classification usually first define a representation vector for a candidate role and feed the vector into a deep neural network to perform classification. The representation vector contains some lexicalization features like word embeddings, lemmar embeddings. From linguistics, the semantic role frame of a sentence is a joint structure with strong dependencies between arguments which is not considered in current deep SRL systems. Therefore, this paper proposes a global deep reranking model to exploit these strong dependencies. The evaluation experiments on the CoNLL 2009 shared tasks show that our system can outperforms a strong local system significantly that does not consider role dependency relations.
