Graph Embeddings for Frame Identification

Alexander Popov, Jennifer Sikos


Abstract
Lexical resources such as WordNet (Miller, 1995) and FrameNet (Baker et al., 1998) are organized as graphs, where relationships between words are made explicit via the structure of the resource. This work explores how structural information from these lexical resources can lead to gains in a downstream task, namely frame identification. While much of the current work in frame identification uses various neural architectures to predict frames, those neural architectures only use representations of frames based on annotated corpus data. We demonstrate how incorporating knowledge directly from the FrameNet graph structure improves the performance of a neural network-based frame identification system. Specifically, we construct a bidirectional LSTM with a loss function that incorporates various graph- and corpus-based frame embeddings for learning and ultimately achieves strong performance gains with the graph-based embeddings over corpus-based embeddings alone.
