TL;DR
This paper describes a system for the CoNLL-2005 Shared Task on Semantic Role Labeling that trained two parsers with the training corpus in which the semantic argument information is attached to the constituent labels, and used the resulting parse trees as the input of the pipelined SRL system.
Abstract
This paper describes a system for the CoNLL-2005 Shared Task on Semantic Role Labeling. We trained two parsers with the training corpus in which the semantic argument information is attached to the constituent labels, we then used the resulting parse trees as the input of the pipelined SRL system. We present our results of combining the output of various SRL systems using different parsers.

Computational LinguisticsThe Proposition Bank: An Annotated Corpus of Semantic Roles
2,302 Citations2005Martha Palmer, Daniel Gildea +1 more
An automatic system for semantic role tagging trained on the corpus is described and the effect on its performance of various types of information is discussed, including a comparison of full syntactic parsing with a flat representation and the contribution of the empty trace categories of the treebank.
Computational LinguisticsHead-Driven Statistical Models for Natural Language Parsing
1,860 Citations2003Michael Collins
Three statistical models for natural language parsing are described, leading to approaches in which a parse tree is represented as the sequence of decisions corresponding to a head-centered, top-down derivation of the tree.
A maximum-entropy-inspired parser
1,496 Citations2000Eugene Charniak
A new parser for parsing down to Penn tree-bank style parse trees that achieves 90.1% average precision/recall for sentences of length 40 and less and 89.5% when trained and tested on the previously established sections of the Wall Street Journal treebank is presented.
The Penn Treebank
751 Citations1994Mitchell P. Marcus, Grace Kim +6 more
The implementation of crucial aspects of this new syntactic annotation scheme incorporates a more consistent treatment of a wide range of grammatical phenomena, provides a set of coindexed null elements in what can be thought of as "underlying" position for phenomena such as wh-movement, passive, and the subjects of infinitival constructions.
Calibrating Features for Semantic Role Labeling
320 Citations2004Nianwen Xue, Martha Palmer
A critical look at the features used in the semantic role tagging literature is taken and it is shown that the information in the input, generally a syntactic parse tree, has yet to be fully exploited.
Machine LearningSupport Vector Learning for Semantic Argument Classification
278 Citations2005Sameer Pradhan, Kadri Hacıoğlu +4 more
A machine learning algorithm for semantic role parsing is proposed, extending the work of Gildea and Jurafsky (2002), Surdeanu et al. (2003) and others, based on Support Vector Machines which shows large improvement in performance over earlier classifiers.
Machine LearningLearning to Parse Natural Language with Maximum Entropy Models
245 Citations1999Adwait Ratnaparkhi
A machine learning system for parsing natural language that learns from manually parsed example sentences, and parses unseen data at state-of-the-art accuracies, and it is demonstrated that the parser can train from other domains without modification to the modeling framework or the linguistic hints it uses to learn.
The necessity of parsing for predicate argument recognition
218 Citations2001Daniel Gildea, Martha Palmer
The effect of parser accuracy on these systems' performance is quantified, and the question of whether a flatter "chunked" representation of the input can be as effective for the purposes of semantic role identification is examined.
Semantic role labeling via integer linear programming inference

A system that combines a machine learning technique with an inference procedure based on integer linear programming that supports the incorporation of linguistic and structural constraints into the decision process for semantic role labeling is presented.
