Learning Objectives
Define and distinguish thematic roles: Agent, Patient, Instrument, Location, Experiencer, and Theme
Analyze how Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) computationally implements core CL theoretical insights
Connect PropBank and FrameNet role inventories to real-world NLU task performance
Apply thematic role analysis to improve reading comprehension and question-answering AI systems
Thematic roles, semantic frames, and how AI systems parse who does what to whom.
This lesson builds on the theoretical foundations established earlier in the module and extends your understanding of how cognitive-linguistic principles apply directly to modern AI systems.
