Abstract:

This paper presents a novel application of incorporating Alternating Structure Optimization (ASO) to conduct the task of text chunking of Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) in Chinese texts. ASO is a competent linear algorithm based on the theory of multi-task learning. In this paper, by constructing several SRL tasks to constitute a multi-task, we are able to encode the inference obtained by ASO algorithm as additional feature to further boost the performance of the target task employing Conditional Random Fields (CRFs). To our knowledge, our method is the first that incorporates multi-task learning into a statistical model in SRL for Chinese texts. We evaluate our approach on Penn Treebank data sets and obtain encouraging result.
