5 paper cards in Mova's library · 1995–2007

Ann Copestake wrote 5 of the papers Mova reads, in 1995–2007, most of them on Machine translation; often with Dan Flickinger, Francis Bond, Ivan A. Sag.

The profile is the library's match of the name; two people with one name are not always told apart.

Papers

Semantic Composition with (Robust) Minimal Recursion Semantics (2007)
The paper looks at semantic composition in Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS) and in its robust variant (RMRS), which suits shallow analysers.
Multiword Expressions: A Pain in the Neck for NLP (2002)
Not read: this card is written from what is reliably known about the paper, and every idea is marked to check against the text.
Multiword expressions: linguistic precision and reusability (2002)
The paper describes how the LinGO English Resource Grammar (ERG), a broad bidirectional HPSG grammar, encodes multiword expressions (MWEs) in a database.
An Algebra for Semantic Construction in Constraint-based Grammars (2001)
The paper offers a framework for semantic construction inside grammars written in typed feature structure logics, including HPSG.
Translation using Minimal Recursion Semantics (1995)
The paper presents minimal recursion semantics (MRS), a flat semantic representation for HPSG grammars, developed for the Verbmobil spoken-dialogue translation project.
