Using Syntax-Based Machine Translation to Parse English into Abstract Meaning Representation

원문 초록

We present a parser for Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR). We treat English-to-AMR conversion within the framework of string-to-tree, syntax-based machine translation (SBMT). To make this work, we transform the AMR structure into a form suitable for the mechanics of SBMT and useful for modeling. We introduce an AMR-specific language model and add data and features drawn from semantic resources. Our resulting AMR parser improves upon state-of-the-art results by 7 Smatch points.
