Speech translation (ST) aims to translate speech from a source language into text in the target language. Naturally, speech signals contain paralinguistic cues beyond linguistic content, which could influence or even alter the interpretation of …

Deep Semantic Role Labeling With Self-Attention

2018 · Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence

Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) is believed to be a crucial step towards natural language understanding and has been widely studied. Recent years, end-to-end SRL with recurrent neural networks (RNN) has gained increasing attention. However, it …
