Semantic Role Labeling
138 papers with code · 7 benchmarks · 14 datasets archive 2025-07-28
Semantic role labeling aims to model the predicate-argument structure of a sentence and is often described as answering "Who did what to whom". BIO notation is typically used for semantic role labeling.
Example:
| Housing | starts | are | expected | to | quicken | a | bit | from | August’s | pace |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B-ARG1 | I-ARG1 | O | O | O | V | B-ARG2 | I-ARG2 | B-ARG3 | I-ARG3 | I-ARG3 |

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28
7 leaderboard tables shown for this task, 7 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.
Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.
Libraries
