Parsing as Sequential Construction of Logical Forms
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we give a formal description of the parsing model that underlies the treatment of Long Distance Dependencies, Topic and Focus, Ellipsis and Quantification in, amongst others, the papers [1996],[1997], [1999a],[1998],[1999b]. In this model, a natural language string consists of a sequence of ‘instructions packages’ to construct some term in a formal representation language, the logical form of the string in question. Parsing, then, is the process of executing these packages in a left to right order.

Semantic Parsing with Semi-Supervised Sequential Autoencoders
We present a novel semi-supervised approach for sequence transduction and apply it to semantic parsing. The unsupervised component is based on a generative model in which latent sentences generate the unpaired logical forms. We apply this method to a number of semantic parsing tasks focusing on domains with limited access to labelled training data and extend those datasets with synthetically ge...
متن کاملSequence-based Structured Prediction for Semantic Parsing
We propose an approach for semantic parsing that uses a recurrent neural network to map a natural language question into a logical form representation of a KB query. Building on recent work by (Wang et al., 2015), the interpretable logical forms, which are structured objects obeying certain constraints, are enumerated by an underlying grammar and are paired with their canonical realizations. In...
متن کاملImitation Learning of Agenda-based Semantic Parsers
Semantic parsers conventionally construct logical forms bottom-up in a fixed order, resulting in the generation of many extraneous partial logical forms. In this paper, we combine ideas from imitation learning and agendabased parsing to train a semantic parser that searches partial logical forms in a more strategic order. Empirically, our parser reduces the number of constructed partial logical...
متن کاملModular Logic Grammars
This report describes a logic grammar formalism, Modular Logic Grammars, exhibiting a high degree of modularity between syntax and semantics. There is a syntax rule compiler (compiling into Prolog) which takes care of the building of analysis structures and the interface to a clearly separated semantic interpretation component dealing with scoping and the construction of logical forms. The whol...
متن کاملTransforming Dependency Structures to Logical Forms for Semantic Parsing
The strongly typed syntax of grammar formalisms such as CCG, TAG, LFG and HPSG offers a synchronous framework for deriving syntactic structures and semantic logical forms. In contrast—partly due to the lack of a strong type system—dependency structures are easy to annotate and have become a widely used form of syntactic analysis for many languages. However, the lack of a type system makes a for...
