Website abstract bibtex This paper focuses on a well-known open issue in Semantic Role Classification (SRC) research: the limited influence and sparseness of lexical features. We mitigate this problem using models that integrate automatically learned selectional preferences (SP). We explore a range of models based on WordNet and distributional-similarity SPs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the SRC task is better modeled by SP models centered on both verbs and prepositions, rather than verbs alone. Our experiments with SP-based models in isolation indicate that they outperform a lexical baseline with 20 F1 points in domain and almost 40 F1 points out of domain. Furthermore, we show that a state-of-the-art SRC system extended with features based on selectional preferences performs significantly better, both in domain (17% error reduction) and out of domain (13% error reduction). Finally, we show that in an end-to-end semantic role labeling system we obtain small but statistically significant improvements, even though our modifie...
