This is the code for our paper Exploiting Definitions for Frame Identification (EACL 2021).

This project is built on python==3.7.6, torch=1.4.0, transformers==2.9.0.

Download the pre-trained models at: trained on FrameNet 1.5, trained on FrameNet 1.7.

The accuracy of the pre-trained models are:

The file you would like to predict should be "data/fn1.5/test.csv" or "data/fn1.7/test.csv".

Put the extracted "model_fn1.5" or "model_fn1.7" folder under the "pretrained_models/" directory, and run predict.sh.

It will generate two files: "test_prediction_labels.txt" and "test_prediction_probs.txt" under the model directory.

For FrameNet 1.5, data files (train.csv, dev.csv and test.csv) should be put under "data/fn1.5/".

For FrameNet 1.7, similarly, data files should be put under "data/fn1.7/".

Run train.sh. You should get similar results compared to the table above.

id, sentence, lu_name, lu_head_position, lu_defs, frame_names, frame_defs, label

lu_name: the target word or phrase
lu_head_position: the position index of the target in the sentence
lu_defs: all the target word definitions associated with the candidate frames (each LU will have different definitions for different associated frames), separated by "~$~"
frame_names: candidate frames, separated by "~$~"
frame_defs: candidate frame definitions, separated by "~$~"
label: an integer indicating the correct frame from the frame_names (lu_defs, frame_names and frame_defs should have the same corresponding order)

An example of the data format can be found under "data/fn1.5/".

The "data/fn1.5/" folder *only contains a small sample* of the data. To replicate the results in the paper, you will need full text of the FrameNet data, as well as the same data split.

We followed the same train/dev/test split as in Das et al. (2014) and Swayamdipta et al. (2017). Details of the data processing can be found at Open-SESAME.
