Meaning Representations for Natural Languages: Design, Models and Applications

Julia Bonn, Jeffrey Flanigan, Jan Hajič, Ishan Jindal, Yunyao Li, Nianwen Xue


Abstract
This tutorial reviews the design of common meaning representations, SoTA models for predicting meaning representations, and the applications of meaning representations in a wide range of downstream NLP tasks and real-world applications. Reporting by a diverse team of NLP researchers from academia and industry with extensive experience in designing, building and using meaning representations, our tutorial has three components: (1) an introduction to common meaning representations, including basic concepts and design challenges; (2) a review of SoTA methods on building models for meaning representations; and (3) an overview of applications of meaning representations in downstream NLP tasks and real-world applications. We propose a cutting-edge, full-day tutorial for all stakeholders in the AI community, including NLP researchers, domain-specific practitioners, and students
