05/17/2023	Skatje Myers, Practice Talk for Thesis Defense - Adapting Semantic Role Labeling to New Genres and Languages Abstract: Semantic role labeling (SRL) is the identification of semantic predicates and their participants within a sentence, which is vital for deeper natural language understanding. Current SRL models require annotated text for training, but this is unavailable in many domains and languages. We explore two different ways of reducing the annotation required to produce effective SRL models: 1) using active learning to target only the most informative training instances and 2) leveraging parallel sentences to project SRL annotations from one language into the target language.
