Chinese Semantic Role Labeling with Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Networks

Zhen Wang, Tingsong Jiang, Baobao Chang, Zhifang Sui · 2015

Traditional approaches to Chinese Seman-tic Role Labeling (SRL) almost heavily re-ly on feature engineering. Even worse, the long-range dependencies in a sentence can hardly be modeled by these method-s. In this paper, we introduce bidirection-al recurrent neural network (RNN) with long-short-term memory (LSTM) to cap-ture bidirectional and long-range depen-dencies in a sentence with minimal fea-ture engineering. Experimental results on Chinese Proposition Bank (CPB) show a significant improvement over the state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, our model makes it convenient to introduce hetero-geneous resource, which makes a further improvement on our experimental perfor-mance. 1
