MRS and RMRS

(Joint with grammarians session)

• Scoping constraints: beyond qeqs (BertholdCrysmann)

• Tense/aspect/plurality etc features in MRS and RMRS

• Representations of discourse status (EmilyBender) Representations of discourse status (taking Kaja's work as a starting point) that improve on the current def_q_rel-style mess

• Quantifiers with nominal relation (EmilyBender)

• Pronoun rels vs prodrop (EmilyBender) Inserting pronoun-rels v. leaving unbound indices in

pro-drop (aka null instantiation).

• MRS wellformedness issues (NTNU)

• MRSs in translation and the prospects for MRS-based interlinguas vs MRS-based transfer. LarsAhrenberg

• Messages: what are they good for? FrancisBond (absolutely nothing, say it again AnnCopestake)

• Algebra and composition (AnnCopestake) the status of the HOOK.INDEX in MRS/RMRS (FrancisBond)

Lexicon building

TimBaldwin talk in plenary session?

• Joint Force Deep Lexical Acquisition: Prospect and Rumination (YiZhang) The talk will cover i) some new experiment results of the deep lexical acquisition (joint work with Valia Kordoni), ii) the acquisition of MWE lexical entries (joint work with Aline Villavicencio and Valia Kordoni), and iii) the evaluation metrics for deep lexical acquisition (joint work with Timothy Baldwin and Valia Kordoni).

• Lexical acquisition, esp. for immature grammars (EmilyBender)

• large lexica and LexDB (NTNU)

• large lexicons (FrancisBond)

Interfaces, preprocessors and standoff annotation

• Standoff Annotation Interface - use in integrating: shallow and deep linguistic processors, speech input (BenWaldron)

• fspp (simple preprocessor) module, usage in specific grammars

• Preprocessors (FrancisBond)

• coordination/discussion on SMAF (UlrichSchafer)

• preprocessor implementation and integration (UlrichSchafer)

• PET API (proposal, discussion) (UlrichSchafer)

• grammar interfaces: clear interface for robustness-related grammar elements

  • (paths/types/pos-tags/expected tokenization/punctuation etc.)
    • e.g. specified in the inline documentation in such a way that it could be processed/extracted automatically from grammar sources.

Tools

• Heart of Gold Tutorial requested by TimBaldwin, LarsAhrenberg, FrancisBond

If somebody is interested in, I could show how to define SDL cascades in HoG (20-30 min.), e.g. taking the recently integrated RMRS-merging stylesheets (developed by Anette) as an example. But maybe that's too special; an alternative would be a general HoG intro or 'installation party'. UlrichSchafer)

• Tutorial on web server requested by FrancisBond, with a view to other grammars being put online

• PET tutorial requested by LarsAhrenberg

• [incr tsdb()] requested by LarsAhrenberg

  PavelMihaylov (Processing Tools Session)] Trollet: tool for multilingual

grammar engineering - a wrapper around the LKB

• LKB/PET compatibility issues (NTNU), shared configuration, reducing and documenting the globals (FrancisBond)

• multilingual grammar engineering issues (NTNU)

• NL1 project by Martin Magnusson, integrated LKB with the theorem

  • prover SNARK and Temporal Action Logic. Lars Ahrenberg

• Automated testing (FrancisBond, UlrichSchafer)

Working sessions
