We find in our multi-tasking neural model for learning psycholinguistic aspect of language, SRLs play a big part; surprisingly, random embeddings with tuning do as good as GloVe, and more data do not necessarily yield better results. We publish our new SotA results on thematic fit tasks at BlackBoxNLP (EMNLP 2022).
