• Abstract: The paper presents the IWCS 2019 shared task on semantic parsing where the goal is to produce Discourse Representation Structures (DRSs) for English sentences. DRSs originate from Discourse Representation Theory and represent scoped meaning representations that capture the semantics of negation, modals, quantification, and presupposition triggers. Additionally, concepts and event-participants in DRSs are described with WordNet synsets and the thematic roles from VerbNet. To measure similarity between two DRSs, they are represented in a clausal form, i.e. as a set of tuples. Participant systems were expected to produce DRSs in this clausal form. Taking into account the rich lexical information, explicit scope marking, a high number of shared variables among clauses, and highly-constrained format of valid DRSs, all these makes the DRS parsing a challenging NLP task. The results of the shared task displayed improvements over the existing state-of-the-art parser.

  We propose a dedicated augmentation technique for relational texts, named GDA, which uses two complementary modules to preserve both semantic consistency and syntax structures. Experimental results in three datasets under a low-resource setting showed that GDA could bring em 2.0% F1 improvements compared with no augmentation technique.

  ParaAMR is a large-scale syntactically diverse paraphrase dataset created by abstract meaning representation back-translation. We show that ParaAMR can be used to improve on three NLP tasks: learning sentence embeddings, syntactically controlled paraphrase generation, and data augmentation for few-shot learning.

  We propose Dialogue Meaning Representation (DMR), a flexible and easily extendable representation for task-oriented dialogue. Our representation contains a set of nodes and edges with inheritance hierarchy to represent rich semantics for compositional semantics and task-specific concepts. We propose two evaluation tasks to evaluate different machine learning based dialogue models, and further propose a novel coreference resolution model GNNCoref for the graph-based coreference resolution task.

  We show that BERT uses information about RC spans during agreement prediction using the linguistically strategy. We also found that counterfactual representations generated for a specific RC subtype influenced the number prediction in sentences with other RC subtypes, suggesting that information about RC boundaries was encoded abstractly in BERT's representation.

  We develop a Pairwise Representation Learning (PairwiseRL) scheme for the event mention pairs. Our representation supports a finer, structured representation of the text snippet to facilitate encoding events and their arguments. We show that PairwiseRL, despite its simplicity, outperforms the prior state-of-the-art event coreference systems on both cross-document and within-document event coreference benchmarks.

We release a new session-based, compositional task-oriented parsing dataset of 20k sessions consisting of 60k utterances. We propose a new family of Seq2Seq models for the session-based parsing above, which achieve better or comparable performance to the current state-of-the-art on ATIS, SNIPS, TOP and DSTC2.

  We present an ensemble model that makes predictions based on context-free and context-dependent word representations. The key findings are that (1) context-free word representations are a powerful and robust baseline, (2) a sentence classification objective can be used to obtain useful context-dependent word representations, and (3) combining those representations increases performance on some datasets while decreasing performance on others.
