Papers

  1. First Shared Task on UMR Parsing (2026)
    The paper sets up the first shared task on UMR parsing. A system gets plain text and must return sentence-level graphs, the alignment of each node to tokens, and document-level relations such as coreference, temporal and modal links. Seven languages from four families take part: Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, Na-Dene…
  2. Mapping AMR to UMR: Resources for Adapting Existing Corpora for Cross-Lingual Compatibility (2023)
    A reference paper that lists how AMR structures map onto UMR, the typologically motivated successor to AMR.
  3. UMR Annotation of Multiword Expressions (2023)
    This is a guideline paper. It runs no experiment and reports no counts. UMR, which is based on AMR, maps words to concepts. The authors define a multiword expression (MWE) operationally: several words that together form one concept. They sort MWEs into three groups. Fixed MWEs are unmodifiable word sequences, such as…
  4. Translation Divergences in Chinese–English Machine Translation: An Empirical Investigation (2017)
    The authors take about 10,000 Chinese–English sentence pairs that have manually built parse trees on both sides.
  5. CoNLL 2016 Shared Task on Multilingual Shallow Discourse Parsing (2016)
    The shared task asks systems to find shallow discourse relations in news text. Each relation has a connective (explicit, such as "because", or implicit, inserted between adjacent sentences), two argument spans (Arg1 and Arg2, defined semantically for Chinese) and a sense (for example Cause, Condition or Contrast).…
  6. Not an Interlingua, But Close: Comparison of English AMRs to Chinese and Czech (2014)
    The authors take 100 English sentences that already have AMR graphs, translate them into Chinese and Czech, and write AMR graphs for the translations.
  7. CoNLL-2012 Shared Task: Modeling Multilingual Unrestricted Coreference in OntoNotes (2012)
    The paper describes the CoNLL-2012 shared task: coreference in English, Chinese and Arabic on OntoNotes 5.0.
  8. CoNLL-2011 Shared Task: Modeling Unrestricted Coreference in OntoNotes (2011)
    The paper describes the CoNLL-2011 shared task on general coreference in OntoNotes. OntoNotes links identical reference (IDENT) for pronouns, names and definite NPs, and for events, not only NPs or a fixed set of entity types. Appositives are tagged separately as attributes. Singletons are not annotated, so mention…
  9. The CoNLL-2009 Shared Task: Syntactic and Semantic Dependencies in Multiple Languages (2009)
    This is the overview of the 2009 CoNLL shared task on joint syntactic dependency parsing and semantic role labelling.
