Model Card for GalBERT-pt for Semantic Role Labeling (cased)

This model is fine-tuned on a version of multilingual BERT which is pre-trained on the SRL task for Portuguese, and is one of 24 models introduced as part of this project. Prior to this work, there were no published Galician datasets or models for SRL.

Model Details

Model Description

GalBERT-pt for Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) is a transformers model, leveraging mBERT's extensive pretraining on 104 languages to achieve better SRL predictions for low-resource Galician. This model is additionally pre-trained on the SRL task for Portuguese. This model is cased: it makes a difference between english and English. It was fine-tuned on Galician with the following objectives:

Identify up to 13 verbal roots within a sentence.
Identify available arguments for each verbal root. Due to scarcity of data, this model focused solely on the identification of arguments 0, 1, and 2.

Labels are formatted as: r#:tag, where r# links the token to a specific verbal root of index #, and tag identifies the token as the verbal root (root) or an individual argument (arg0/arg1/arg2)

Developed by: Micaella Bruton
Model type: Transformers
Language(s) (NLP): Galician (gl), Portuguese (pt)

Model Sources

Repository: GalicianSRL
Paper: To be updated

Uses

This model is intended to be used to develop and improve natural language processing tools for Galician.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Galician is a low-resource language which prior to this project lacked a semantic role labeling dataset. As such, the dataset used to train this model is extrememly limited and could benefit from the inclusion of additional sentences and manual validation by native speakers.

Metrics

seqeval is a Python framework for sequence labeling evaluation. It can evaluate the performance of chunking tasks such as named-entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging, and semantic role labeling. It supplies scoring both overall and per label type.

Overall:

accuracy: the average accuracy, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.
precision: the average precision, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.
recall: the average recall, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.
f1: the average F1 score, which is the harmonic mean of the precision and recall. It also has a scale of 0.0 to 1.0.

Per label type:

precision: the average precision, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.
recall: the average recall, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.
f1: the average F1 score, on a scale between 0.0 and 1.0.

    abstract = "In this paper, we leverage existing corpora, WordNet, and dependency parsing to build the first Galician dataset for training semantic role labeling systems in an effort to expand available NLP resources. Additionally, we introduce verb indexing, a new pre-processing method, which helps increase the performance when semantically parsing highly-complex sentences. We use transfer-learning to test both the resource and the verb indexing method. Our results show that the effects of verb indexing were amplified in scenarios where the model was both pre-trained and fine-tuned on datasets utilizing the method, but improvements are also noticeable when only used during fine-tuning. The best-performing Galician SRL model achieved an f1 score of 0.74, introducing a baseline for future Galician SRL systems. We also tested our method on Spanish where we achieved an f1 score of 0.83, outperforming the baseline set by the 2009 CoNLL Shared Task by 0.025 showing the merits of our verb indexing method for pre-processing.",
