• Abstract: We present a compositional semantics for various types of polar questions and wh-questions within the framework of Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG). To assess the explanatory power of our proposed analysis, we introduce a question-answering dataset QSEM specifically designed to evaluate the semantics of interrogative sentences. We implement our analysis using existing CCG parsers and conduct evaluations using the dataset. Through the evaluation, we have obtained annotated data with CCG trees and semantic representations for about half of the samples included in QSEM. Furthermore, we discuss the discrepancy between the theoretical capacity of CCG and the capabilities of existing CCG parsers.

  ASAC aims to evaluate the overall speaking proficiency of an L2 speaker in a setting where an interlocutor interacts with one or more candidates. We propose a hierarchical graph model that aptly incorporates both broad inter-response interactions and nuanced semantic information. Extensive experimental results on the NICT-JLE benchmark dataset suggest that our proposed modeling approach can yield considerable improvements in prediction accuracy.

  Question Under Discussion (QUD) is a discourse framework that uses implicit questions to reveal discourse relationships between sentences. We introduce QUDSELECT, a joint-training framework that selectively decodes the QUD dependency structures considering the QUD criteria. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline models by 9% in human evaluation and 4% in automatic evaluation.

  We introduce a set of fine-grained categories for measuring the attribution, and develop a Complex Attributed Question Answering (CAQA) benchmark. Our analysis reveals that existing evaluators perform poorly under fine-grained attribution settings and exhibit weaknesses in complex citation-statement reasoning.

In addition, we examine the visualization of directed acyclic graphs to analyze semantic relationships.

  This work adopts the linguistic framework of Questions Under Discussion (QUD) for discourse analysis. We characterize relationships between sentences as free-form questions, in contrast to exhaustive fine-grained questions. We develop the first-of-its-kind QUD that derives a dependency structure of questions over full documents.
