- QUOTE: All the NLP tasks above can be seen as tasks assigning labels to words. The traditional NLP approach is: extract from the sentence a rich set of hand-designed features which are then fed to a standard classification algorithm, for example, a Support Vector Machine (SVM), often with a linear kernel. The choice of features is a completely empirical process, mainly based first on linguistic intuition, and then trial and error, and the feature selection is task dependent, implying additional research for each new NLP task. Complex tasks like SRL then require a large number of possibly complex features (e.g., extracted from a parse tree) which can impact the computational cost which might be important for large-scale applications or applications requiring real-time response.
Instead, we advocate a radically different approach: as input we will try to pre-process our features as little as possible and then use a multilayer neural network (NN) architecture, trained in an end-to-end fashion. The architecture takes the input sentence and learns several layers of feature extraction that process the inputs. The features computed by the deep layers of the network are automatically trained by backpropagation to be relevant to the task. We describe in this section a general multilayer architecture suitable for all our NLP tasks, which is generalizable to other NLP tasks as well.
Our architecture is summarized in Figure 1 and Figure 2. The first layer extracts features for each word. The second layer extracts features from a window of words or from the whole sentence, treating it as a sequence with local and global structure (i.e., it is not treated like a bag of words). The following layers are standard NN layers.

- QUOTE: NLP problem can be divided into two tasks:
- Processing written text, using lexical, syntactic and semantic knowledge of the language as well as the required real world information.
- Processing spoken language, using all the information needed above plus additional knowledge about phonology as well as enough added information to handle the further ambiguities that arise in speech.(...)
