SLING is a natural language frame semantics parser that annotates text with frame semantic graph representations using bi-directional LSTMs and a transition-based decoder. It includes a scalable frame store for knowledge representation, a Wiki flow pipeline for processing Wikidata and Wikipedia dumps, and a neural network JIT compiler for fast training and parsing.

Use cases

  • parse text into frame semantic representations
  • extract facts from Wikipedia articles for knowledge base completion
  • convert Wikidata dumps into an in-memory frame graph
  • map entity names and phrases to knowledge base entities
  • train a custom semantic parser on annotated documents
  • upload extracted facts to Wikidata via a bot

When to choose

  • you need frame semantic parsing with direct graph output from raw text
  • you are doing knowledge base completion with Wikidata or Wikipedia data
  • you want an efficient in-memory frame store for graph traversal and reasoning
  • you need a self-contained neural parser with a JIT compiler for fast inference

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose production NLP pipeline with broad language support
  • you want a maintained project with active development and support
  • you need simple off-the-shelf NER or dependency parsing rather than frame semantics
  • your stack requires a pure Python or managed-language solution
