Compromise: FEATURE REQUEST: Semantic Role Labeler OR Shallow Semantic Parser

[ohenepee]

Are there any plans to implement an SRL in compromise?

[spencermountain]

hi ohenepee, yeah I'd like to see something like this happen too. This was one of the things i was thinking about when I wrote the match syntax this winter.

writing rules, or sentence-role templates in compromise is kinda nice:

doc.match('#Noun was #PastTense by #Noun').tag('#Recipient was #Action by #Actor')
///... and so on

i started to do a little, basic 'clause tagging' here, but you can see it's not very fancy, or well-informed at all.

what are you looking to achieve? happy to help

@spencermountain Well I didn't know that ( doc.match ) was there... and yes its pretty nice. However an actual SRL would help with parsing sentences without the developer having any foreknowledge of its grammatical structure. For instance if I want to know the Subject-Verb-Object of a user-supplied sentence.

For the meantime I'm eye'ing node-nltools lightweight SRL and speakeasy classify method. Please take a look at them and see how best we could pull them together as one powerful function into compromise (my beloved NLP tool) :)
