Summary

The paper presents how they built The Proposition Bank (PropBank) corpus. In addition, the paper describes an automatic system for Semantic Role Labeling trained on the corpus.

Key Contribution

This system is the first statistical model on FrameNet solving the semantic role labeling problem, and future systems use the features introduced in this paper as a baseline. This paper is also very worth to read in that it describes the whole process of semantic role labeling in detail. In addition, they did many various experiments to find out which features, algorithms, and techniques affect the performance of the system.
