Automatic Labeling of Semantic Roles

We present a system for identifying the semantic relationships, or semantic roles, filled by constituents of a sentence within a semantic frame. Various lexical and syntactic features are derived from parse trees and used to derive statistical classifiers from hand-annotated training data.
