Universal Semantic Parsing

Understand

Universal Dependencies (UD) offer a uniform cross-lingual syntactic representation, with the aim of advancing multilingual applications.

• Recent work shows that semantic parsing can be accomplished by transforming syntactic dependencies to logical forms.
• However, this work is limited to English, and cannot process dependency graphs, which allow handling complex phenomena such as control.
• In this work, we introduce UDepLambda, a semantic interface for UD, which maps natural language to logical forms in an almost language-independent fashion and can process dependency graphs.
