Abstract
The use of complex grammatical features in statistical language learning assumes the availability of large scale training data and good quality parsers, especially for language different from English. In this paper, we show how good quality FrameNet SRL systems can be obtained, without relying on full syntactic parsing, by backing off to surface grammatical representations and structured learning. This model is here shown to achieve state-of-art results in standard benchmarks, while its robustness is confirmed in poor training conditions, for a language different for English, i.e. Italian.
