Semantic role labeling

Okay, kiddo! So, when we talk or write, we usually talk about something or someone doing something, like when we say "the cat is chasing the mouse." The cat is doing the chasing and the mouse is being chased. Semantic role labeling is a way of understanding and labeling these different roles in a sentence, so we can better understand what's going on. It's like a game of "Who's doing what?" but with words instead of people.

For example, let's take the sentence "The boy kicked the ball." Semantic role labeling would help us understand that the boy is the one doing the kicking, and the ball is the one being kicked. This helps us figure out the meaning of the sentence and how the words relate to each other.

Semantic role labeling uses special computer programs to scan through sentences and figure out which words are doing the action and which words are affected by the action. So, it's like having a little robot helper who can read and understand sentences almost like a person could.

Overall, semantic role labeling is just a fancy way of figuring out who is doing what in a sentence, so we can understand it better. It's like having a decoder ring to help us translate language into something we can understand more easily. Cool, huh?
