no code implementations SEMEVAL 2017 Rik van Noord, Johan Bos

We evaluate a semantic parser based on a character-based sequence-to-sequence model in the context of the SemEval-2017 shared task on semantic parsing for AMRs.

1 code implementation EACL 2017 Lasha Abzianidze, Johannes Bjerva, Kilian Evang, Hessel Haagsma, Rik van Noord, Pierre Ludmann, Duc-Duy Nguyen, Johan Bos

The Parallel Meaning Bank is a corpus of translations annotated with shared, formal meaning representations comprising over 11 million words divided over four languages (English, German, Italian, and Dutch).

The Other Side of the Coin: Unsupervised Disambiguation of Potentially Idiomatic Expressions by Contrasting Senses

no code implementations COLING 2018 Hessel Haagsma, Malvina Nissim, Johan Bos

Disambiguation of potentially idiomatic expressions involves determining the sense of a potentially idiomatic expression in a given context, e. g. determining that make hay in {`}Investment banks made hay while takeovers shone.

Meaning Banking beyond Events and Roles

no code implementations WS 2017 Johan Bos

In this talk I will discuss the analysis of several semantic phenomena that need meaning representations that can describe attributes of propositional contexts.

Cross-lingual Learning of an Open-domain Semantic Parser

no code implementations COLING 2016 Kilian Evang, Johan Bos

We propose a method for learning semantic CCG parsers by projecting annotations via a parallel corpus.

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.
