Abstract
The evaluation of whole-sentence semantic structures plays an important role in semantic parsing and large-scale semantic structure annotation. However, there is no widely-used metric to evaluate wholesentence semantic structures. In this paper, we present smatch, a metric that calculates the degree of overlap between two semantic feature structures. We give an efficient algorithm to compute the metric and show the results of an inter-annotator agreement study.

DynamicPower at SemEval-2016 Task 8: Processing syntactic parse trees with a Dynamic Semantics core

TL;DR: This is a system description paper for a submission to Task 8 of SemEval-2016: Meaning Representation Parsing, where existing components were combined to form a pipeline able to take raw sentences as input and output meaning representations.

Semantic Analysis and Evaluation of Translation Based on Abstract Meaning Representation

TL;DR: In order to explore the semantic equivalence among homologous translations, the paper analyzes the scenarios of same semantic structures covered by AMR and proposes a framework of variation in homologueous translations.

Evaluation Strategies for Computational Construction Grammars

TL;DR: A number of evaluation measures are presented, partially based on existing measures in the field of semantic parsing, that are especially relevant for reversible grammar formalisms that are tested on a grammar fragment for European Portuguese clitic placement.

Spanish Abstract Meaning Representation: Annotation of a General Corpus

TL;DR: This work presents the first sizable, general annotation project for Spanish Abstract Meaning Representation, which makes use of Spanish rolesets from the AnCora-Net lexicon and extends English AMR with semantic features specific to Spanish.

DRS Parsing as Sequence Labeling

Minxing Shen, +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents the first fully trainable semantic parser for English, German, Italian, and Dutch discourse representation structures (DRSs) that is competitive in accuracy with recent sequence-to-sequence models and at the same time "compositional" in the sense that the output maps each token to one of a finite set of meaning.

Bleu: a Method for Automatic Evaluation of Machine Translation

TL;DR: This paper proposed a method of automatic machine translation evaluation that is quick, inexpensive, and language-independent, that correlates highly with human evaluation, and that has little marginal cost per run.

A Study of Translation Edit Rate with Targeted Human Annotation

TL;DR: A new, intuitive measure for evaluating machine translation output that avoids the knowledge intensiveness of more meaning-based approaches, and the labor-intensiveness of human judgments is defined.

Events in the Semantics of English: A Study in Subatomic Semantics

TL;DR: Focusing on the structure of meaning in English sentences at a "subatomic" level - that is, a level below the one most theories accept as basic or "atomic" - Parsons asserts that the semantics of simple English sentences require logical forms somewhat more complex than is normally assumed in natural language semantics.

Learning to map sentences to logical form: structured classification with probabilistic categorial grammars

TL;DR: A learning algorithm is described that takes as input a training set of sentences labeled with expressions in the lambda calculus and induces a grammar for the problem, along with a log-linear model that represents a distribution over syntactic and semantic analyses conditioned on the input sentence.

From treebank to propbank

TL;DR: This paper describes the approach to the development of a Proposition Bank, which involves the addition of semantic information to the Penn English Treebank and introduces metaframes as a technique for handling similar frames among near− synonymous verbs.
