Abstract

This paper describes the DeSRL system, a joined effort of Yahoo! Research Barcelona and Università di Pisa for the CoNLL-2008 Shared Task (Surdeanu et al., 2008). The system is characterized by an efficient pipeline of linear complexity components, each carrying out a different sub-task. Classifier errors and ambiguities are addressed with several strategies: revision models, voting, and reranking. The system participated in the closed challenge ranking third in the complete problem evaluation with the following scores: 82.06 labeled macro F1 for the overall task, 86.6 labeled attachment for syntactic dependencies, and 77.5 labeled F1 for semantic dependencies.
