Multilingual Semantic Role Labeling

# Multilingual Semantic Role Labeling
# Topic of SemEval-2021 Task 3 (Span- and Dependency-based Multilingual
# and Cross-lingual SRL); grounded in the UniteD-SRL dataset.
# Based on Tripodi, Conia & Navigli, Findings of EMNLP 2021
# Paper: https://aclanthology.org/2021.findings-emnlp.197/
# Dataset: https://github.com/SapienzaNLP/united-srl
#
# Annotators identify predicate-argument structures in sentences by
# marking spans for semantic roles (Predicate, Agent, Patient, etc.)
# and classifying the voice type of the main predicate.

annotation_instructions: |
  You will see a sentence in a given language. Your tasks:

  1. Use span annotation to mark the predicate and its arguments:
     - Predicate: The main verb or action
     - Agent: Who/what performs the action
     - Patient: Who/what is affected by the action
     - Theme: What is being moved or described
     - Location, Time, Instrument, Beneficiary as applicable

  2. Classify the voice type of the main predicate as Active, Passive, or Middle.

  Not every role will be present in every sentence. Mark only the roles you find.
