    abstract = "Frame-semantic parsers traditionally predict predicates, frames, and semantic roles in a fixed order. This paper explores the `chicken-or-egg' problem of interdependencies between these components theoretically and practically. We introduce a flexible BERT-based sequence labeling architecture that allows for predicting frames and roles independently from each other or combining them in several ways. Our results show that our setups can approximate more complex traditional models' performance, while allowing for a clearer view of the interdependencies between the pipeline{'}s components, and of how frame and role prediction models make different use of BERT{'}s layers."
