	"text": "Our novel approach to training data generation for FrameNet SRL uses the paradigm of distant supervision (Mintz et al., 2009) which has become popular in relation extraction. In distant supervision, the overall goal is to align text and a knowledge base, using some notion of similarity. Such an alignment allows us to transfer information from the knowledge base to the text, and this information can serve as labeling for supervised learning. Hence, unlike semi-supervised methods which typically employ a supervised classifier and a small number of seed instances to do bootstrap learning (Yarowsky, 1995) , distant supervision creates training data in a single run. A particular type of knowledge base relevant for distant supervision are linked lexical resources (LLRs): integrated lexical resources that combine several resources (e.g., WordNet, FrameNet, Wiktionary) by linking them on the sense or on the role level.",

The same goal is pursued by Corpus Analysis Patterns (CPA patterns, Hanks (2013)), which have been created to capture sense distinctions in word usage by combining argument structures, collocations and an ontology of semantic types for arguments. In contrast to our fully automatic approach, developing CPA patterns based on corpus evidence was a lexicographic effort.

They used the translation of PropBank labels to FrameNet in the SemLink corpus as additional training data, but found that this strategy hurt role labeling performance. They credit this to the low coverage and errors in SemLink, which might be amplified by the use of a transitive linking (from PropBank to FrameNet via VerbNet). In this work, we successfully employ SemLink: we use the VerbNet-FrameNet (sense-and role-level) linking from SemLink in our role label transfer approach (Step 2). The resulting automatically role-labeled training data improve role classification in combination with the FN-train set (cf. section 4.3). We assume that the large-scale generation of training data smoothes over the noise resulting from errors in the SemLink mapping.",
