In this paper, we demonstrate how the frame-to-frame relations described in the FrameNet ontology can be used to improve the performance of a FrameNet-based semantic role classifier for Swedish, a low-resource language. In order to make use of the FrameNet relations, we cast the semantic role classification task as a non-atomic label prediction task.

"text": "Since the original FrameNet is developed for the English language, most research on semantic role extraction has focused exclusively on English. However, the English FrameNet has inspired similar efforts for other languages. For instance, the ongoing development of a Swedish FrameNet (Borin et al., 2010) allows us to investigate the feasibility of using this resource in constructing an automatic role-semantic analyzer for Swedish. However, due to the fact that the Swedish FrameNet annotation process is in a fairly early stage, not much annotated material is available, and this limits the performance attainable by automatic classifiers trained on these data. In particular, the scarce amount of data makes it very hard for the machine learning methods to discern general linguistic facts concerning the syntactic-semantic linking patterns, such as the relation between the voice of a verb, the syntactic functions of its arguments, and the semantic roles of the arguments (Dowty, 1991) .",

This allows the classifier to learn general linguistic facts, and it also leads to more efficient use of the annotated data. To allow this kind of generalization, we formulate the semantic role selection problem as a classification task with non-atomic labels. This cross-frame generalization method reduces the number of errors made by the classifier by 27%, improving the accuracy from 54.4 to 66.5. When evaluating on frames for which the classifier has not been trained, the accuracy improves from 7.2 (random performance) to 53.4, a 50% error reduction.",

Figure 1 shows a sentence annotated with a dependency tree and semantic roles. The semantic role labeling classifier was implemented as a linear multiclass classifier with a flexible output space depending on the frame of the given predicate; we trained this classifier using an online learning algorithm (Crammer et al., 2006) . In addition, we imposed a uniqueness constraint on the labels output by the classifier, so that every role may appear only once for a given predicate.",

The outframe setting simulates the situation where a new frame has been defined, but no training data have been annotated. Without any sort of cross-frame generalization, the classification in the out-frame setting becomes a random baseline. Table 2 shows the results of using the frame-toframe relations for analyzing the semantic role labels. We see that decomposition based on Inheritance is by far the most effective of these, although the highest performance is obtained when combining all types of relation-based decompositions. The effect of analyzing labels in terms of semantic type is similar. The in-frame performance is higher than that of relation-based decomposition, while the out-frame performance is a bit lower. The two generalization methods seem to complement each other, since we get a higher performance by combining them. Table 3 shows the results.",
