CONTACT:Marinela Parovic
DESCRIPTION:This talk will discuss symbolic representations of sentences i
 n context\, ranging from universal dependencies to abstract meaning repres
 entations (AMR)\, and examine their capability for capturing certain aspec
 ts of meaning. A main focus will be the ways in which AMR’s can be expan
 ded to encompass figurative language\, the recovery of implicit arguments 
 and relations between events. These examples will be primarily in English\
 , and indeed some features of AMR are fairly English-centric. The talk wil
 l conclude by introducing Uniform Meaning Representations\, a multi-senten
 ce annotation scheme that is revising AMR’s to make them more suitable f
 or other languages\, especially low resource languages\, and expanding the
  annotation guidelines to include Number\, Tense\, Aspect and Modality as 
 well as Temporal Relations.\n
