S. Pado and M. Pennacchiotti and C. Sporleder: Semantic role assignment for event nominalisations by leveraging verbal data. To appear in Proceedings of COLING 2008. Manchester, UK.

Note: Data available here.

This paper presents a novel approach to the task of semantic role labelling for event nominalisations, which make up a considerable fraction of predicates in running text, but are underrepresented in terms of training data and difficult to model. We propose to address this situation by data expansion. We construct a model for nominal role labelling solely from verbal training data. The best quality results from salvaging grammatical features where applicable, and generalising over lexical heads otherwise.
