Abstract:Semantic Role Labeling is traditionally concerned with searching the fillers of those explicit roles appearing within sentence boundaries, ignoring some implicit arguments called null instantiation. This paper addressed the issue of automatic null instantiation identification based on Chinese FrameNet. We first apply the rule-based approach to detect null instantiation, which is followed by a post filtering to remove errors. Then, to deal with the arguments, we present an approach to combining semantic types of frame elements and frame-to-frame relations. We conduct experiments on 164 Chinese discourses, and compared with some other method, our method can get a better result.
