Papers

English Resource Semantics (2016)
This is a tutorial abstract for the English Resource Grammar (ERG), a broad-coverage HPSG grammar of English, and for its semantic output, English Resource Semantics (ERS), in Minimal Recursion Semantics.
Parser Evaluation over Local and Non-Local Deep Dependencies in a Large Corpus (2011)
The authors ask how well parsers recover the dependencies that matter for interpretation. They take ten linguistic phenomena that are reasonably frequent in running text, such as tough adjectives, right-node raising, expletive it, particle verbs, bare relatives and absolutives, and sample 100 sentences each from…
Identifying Complex Phenomena in a Corpus via a Treebank Lens (2006)
The paper counts how often linguistic phenomena occur in a corpus by mapping the annotations of a Redwoods-style treebank to phenomena.
SEM-I Rational MT: Enriching Deep Grammars with a Semantic Interface for Scalable Machine Translation (2005)
The paper describes the LOGON system, which translates Norwegian to English using minimal recursion semantics in a transfer module, with two existing broad-coverage deep grammars.
Dimensions of Deep Grammar Validation (2005)
The paper sets out a method for validating a large deep grammar at each release, using the English Resource Grammar as the example.
Holistic Regression Testing for High-Quality MT: Some Methodological and Technological Reflections (2005)
The LOGON project, a Norwegian-English MT system for tourism texts, uses regression testing as its main quality measure.
LinGO Redwoods: A Rich and Dynamic Treebank for HPSG (2004)
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: 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.
The LinGO Redwoods Treebank: Motivation and Preliminary Applications (2002)
The paper proposes a treebank that stores full HPSG analyses from a broad-coverage grammar (the LinGO English Resource Grammar) instead of one fixed tree format, so that users can extract the representation they need.
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.
On building a more efficient grammar by exploiting types (2000)
Not read: this card is written from what is reliably known about the paper, and every idea is marked to check against the text.
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.
