• Abstract summary: This paper presents a novel semantic representation, WISeR, that overcomes challenges for Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) Despite its strengths, AMR is not easily applied to languages or domains without predefined semantic frames. We create a new corpus of 1K English dialogue sentences in both WISeR and AMR WISeR.

• Abstract: This paper presents a novel semantic representation, WISeR, that overcomes challenges for Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR). Despite its strengths, AMR is not easily applied to languages or domains without predefined semantic frames, and its use of numbered arguments results in semantic role labels, which are not directly interpretable and are semantically overloaded for parsers. We examine the numbered arguments of predicates in AMR and convert them to thematic roles that do not require reference to semantic frames. We create a new corpus of 1K English dialogue sentences annotated in both WISeR and AMR. WISeR shows stronger inter-annotator agreement for beginner and experienced annotators, with beginners becoming proficient in WISeR annotation more quickly. Finally, we train a state-of-the-art parser on the AMR 3.0 corpus and a WISeR corpus converted from AMR 3.0. The parser is evaluated on these corpora and our dialogue corpus. The WISeR model exhibits higher accuracy than its AMR counterpart across the board, demonstrating that WISeR is easier for parsers to learn.

  We examine the successes and limitations of the GPT-3, ChatGPT, and GPT-4 models in analysis of sentence meaning structure. We find that models can reliably reproduce the basic format of AMR, and can often capture core event, argument, and modifier structure. Overall, our findings indicate that these models out-of-the-box can capture aspects of semantic structure, but there remain key limitations in their ability to support fully accurate semantic analyses or parses.

• Retrofitting Multilingual Sentence Embeddings with Abstract Meaning Representation [70.58243648754507]
  We introduce a new method to improve existing multilingual sentence embeddings with Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) Compared with the original textual input, AMR is a structured semantic representation that presents the core concepts and relations in a sentence explicitly and unambiguously. Experiment results show that retrofitting multilingual sentence embeddings with AMR leads to better state-of-the-art performance on both semantic similarity and transfer tasks.

  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.
