- Abstract: Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) is an annotation framework representing
the semantic structure of a sentence as a whole. From the beginning, AMR was
not intended to act as an interlingua; however, it has made progress towards
the idea of designing a universal meaning representation framework.
Accordingly, developing AMR annotation guidelines for different languages,
based on language divergences, is of significant importance. In this paper, we
elaborate on Persian Abstract Meaning Representation (PAMR) annotation
specifications, based on which we annotated the Persian translation of "The
Little Prince" as the first gold standard for Persian AMR. Moreover, we
describe how some Persian-specific syntactic constructions would result in
different AMR annotations.

Sentence embedding is essential for many NLP tasks, with contrastive learning methods achieving strong performance using datasets like NLI.
Recent studies leverage large language models (LLMs) to generate sentence pairs, reducing annotation dependency.
We propose a method for controlling the generation direction of LLMs in the latent space. Unlike unconstrained generation, the controlled approach ensures meaningful semantic divergence.
Experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves new SOTA performance with a modest cost in ranking sentence synthesis.
