From Discourse Representation Structure to Event Semantics: A Simple Conversion?
2016
Proceedings of the 2016 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems
Preserved Fulltext
We investigate the representations of an automatic analysis pipeline of the C&C parser and Boxer to determine whether Boxer's analyses in form of Discourse Representation Structure can be successfully ...
converted into a more surface oriented event semantic representation, which will serve as input for a fusion algorithm for fusing hard and soft information. ...
Thus, we present work on investigating a rule-based conversion from Discourse Representation Structure as provided by Boxer to our target event semantic representations. ...

We present TreeDST, a dataset of 27k conversations annotated with tree-structured dialog states and system acts. ...
By formulating DST as a semantic parsing task over hierarchical representations, we can incorporate semantic compositionality, cross-domain knowledge sharing and co-reference. ...
DST targets a fuller range of conversational dynamics but typically uses a simple and limiting meaning representation. Semantic parsing embraces a compositional view of meaning. ...

Specifically, we use epistemic network analysis to model connections in student discourse using a temporal segmentation method adapted from recent work in the learning sciences. ...
In what follows, we model the semantic structure of connections in discourse and use ideas from Shaffer (2017) that build on Gee's (1990) work to create an ENA model using a moving window approach. ...
