Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers Semantic Role Labeling Machine Learning Language Model

Semantic role labeling is an application of natural language processing to identify relationships such as "who, what, how and why" with in a sentence. The semantic role labeling study mainly uses machine learning algorithms and the end-to-end method that excludes feature information. Recently, a language model called BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) has emerged in the natural language processing field, performing better than the state-of- the-art models in the natural language processing field. The performance of the semantic role labeling study using the end-to-end method is mainly influenced by the structure of the machine learning model or the pre-trained language model. Thus, in this paper, we apply BERT to the Korean semantic role labeling to improve the Korean semantic role labeling performance. As a result, the performance of the Korean semantic role labeling model using BERT is 85.77%, which is better than the existing Korean semantic role labeling model.
