A Multilingual Benchmark for Probing Negation-Awareness with Minimal Pairs
Negation is one of the most fundamental concepts in human cognition and language, and several natural language inference (NLI) probes have been designed to investigate pretrained language models’ ability to detect and reason with negation.
Assessing Cross-Cultural Alignment between ChatGPT and Human Societies: An Empirical Study
The recent release of ChatGPT has garnered widespread recognition for its exceptional ability to generate human-like responses in dialogue.
A Two-Sided Discussion of Preregistration of NLP Research
Van Miltenburg et al. (2021) suggest NLP research should adopt preregistration to prevent fishing expeditions and to promote publication of negative results.
Towards Climate Awareness in NLP Research
We argue that this deficiency is one of the reasons why very few publications in NLP report key figures that would allow a more thorough examination of environmental impact.
Evaluating Deep Taylor Decomposition for Reliability Assessment in the Wild
We argue that we need to evaluate model interpretability methods 'in the wild', i. e., in situations where professionals make critical decisions, and models can potentially assist them.
Generalized Quantifiers as a Source of Error in Multilingual NLU Benchmarks
Logical approaches to representing language have developed and evaluated computational models of quantifier words since the 19th century, but today's NLU models still struggle to capture their semantics.
Challenges and Strategies in Cross-Cultural NLP
Various efforts in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) community have been made to accommodate linguistic diversity and serve speakers of many different languages.
Can Language Models Encode Perceptual Structure Without Grounding? A Case Study in Color
Pretrained language models have been shown to encode relational information, such as the relations between entities or concepts in knowledge-bases -- (Paris, Capital, France).
Compositional Generalization in Multilingual Semantic Parsing over Wikidata
We introduce such a dataset, which we call Multilingual Compositional Wikidata Questions (MCWQ), and use it to analyze the compositional generalization of semantic parsers in Hebrew, Kannada, Chinese and English.
Great Service! Fine-grained Parsing of Implicit Arguments
Broad-coverage meaning representations in NLP mostly focus on explicitly expressed content.
Meaning Representation of Numeric Fused-Heads in UCCA
We exhibit that the implicit UCCA parser does not address numeric fused-heads (NFHs) consistently, which could result either from inconsistent annotation, insufficient training data or a modelling limitation.
Scaling Creative Inspiration with Fine-Grained Functional Aspects of Ideas
Large repositories of products, patents and scientific papers offer an opportunity for building systems that scour millions of ideas and help users discover inspirations.
Does injecting linguistic structure into language models lead to better alignment with brain recordings?
We evaluate across two fMRI datasets whether language models align better with brain recordings, if their attention is biased by annotations from syntactic or semantic formalisms.
Cross-lingual Semantic Representation for NLP with UCCA
This is an introductory tutorial to UCCA (Universal Conceptual Cognitive Annotation), a cross-linguistically applicable framework for semantic representation, with corpora annotated in English, German and French, and ongoing annotation in Russian and Hebrew.
Comparison by Conversion: Reverse-Engineering UCCA from Syntax and Lexical Semantics
Building robust natural language understanding systems will require a clear characterization of whether and how various linguistic meaning representations complement each other.
MRP 2020: The Second Shared Task on Cross-Framework and Cross-Lingual Meaning Representation Parsing
Extending a similar setup from the previous year, five distinct approaches to the representation of sentence meaning in the form of directed graphs were represented in the English training and evaluation data for the task, packaged in a uniform graph abstraction and serialization; for four of these representation frameworks, additional training and evaluation data was provided for one additional language per framework.
HUJI-KU at MRP 2020: Two Transition-based Neural Parsers
This paper describes the HUJI-KU system submission to the shared task on CrossFramework Meaning Representation Parsing (MRP) at the 2020 Conference for Computational Language Learning (CoNLL), employing TUPA and the HIT-SCIR parser, which were, respectively, the baseline system and winning system in the 2019 MRP shared task.
Joint Semantic Analysis with Document-Level Cross-Task Coherence Rewards
Coreference resolution and semantic role labeling are NLP tasks that capture different aspects of semantics, indicating respectively, which expressions refer to the same entity, and what semantic roles expressions serve in the sentence.
HUJI-KU at MRP~2020: Two Transition-based Neural Parsers
This paper describes the HUJI-KU system submission to the shared task on Cross-Framework Meaning Representation Parsing (MRP) at the 2020 Conference for Computational Language Learning (CoNLL), employing TUPA and the HIT-SCIR parser, which were, respectively, the baseline system and winning system in the 2019 MRP shared task.

Lexical Semantic Recognition
In lexical semantics, full-sentence segmentation and segment labeling of various phenomena are generally treated separately, despite their interdependence.
MRP 2019: Cross-Framework Meaning Representation Parsing
The 2019 Shared Task at the Conference for Computational Language Learning (CoNLL) was devoted to Meaning Representation Parsing (MRP) across frameworks.

Rewarding Coreference Resolvers for Being Consistent with World Knowledge
Unresolved coreference is a bottleneck for relation extraction, and high-quality coreference resolvers may produce an output that makes it a lot easier to extract knowledge triples.
Argument Invention from First Principles
In this work we aim to explicitly define a taxonomy of such principled recurring arguments, and, given a controversial topic, to automatically identify which of these arguments are relevant to the topic.
Content Differences in Syntactic and Semantic Representation
Syntactic analysis plays an important role in semantic parsing, but the nature of this role remains a topic of ongoing debate.

The non-indexed parts of the Internet (the Darknet) have become a haven for both legal and illegal anonymous activity.
Syntactic Interchangeability in Word Embedding Models
Nearest neighbors in word embedding models are commonly observed to be semantically similar, but the relations between them can vary greatly.
