In creating sentence embeddings for Natural Language Inference (NLI) tasks, using transformer-based models like BERT leads to high accuracy, but require hundreds of millions of parameters. These models take in sentences as a sequence of…

Most of the syntax-based metrics obtain the similarity by comparing the sub-structures extracted from the trees of hypothesis and reference. These sub-structures are defined by human and can't express all the information in the trees…

We introduce the task of cross-lingual semantic parsing: mapping content provided in a source language into a meaning representation based on a target language. We present: (1) a meaning representation designed to allow systems to target…

Existing neural semantic parsers mainly utilize a sequence encoder, i.e., a sequential LSTM, to extract word order features while neglecting other valuable syntactic information such as dependency graph or constituent trees. In this paper,…

Arc-standard derivations over projective dependency trees can be interpreted as the incremental construction of lexicalized ordered trees with contiguous yields. Each \textsc{shift}, \textsc{leftarc}, and \textsc{rightarc} transition…

Models based on large-pretrained language models, such as S(entence)BERT, provide effective and efficient sentence embeddings that show high correlation to human similarity ratings, but lack interpretability. On the other hand, graph…

AMR parsing is the task that maps a sentence to an AMR semantic graph automatically. We focus on the breadth-first strategy of this task, which was proposed recently and achieved better performance than other strategies. However, current…

We present a system for object recognition based on a semantic graph representation, which the system can learn from image examples. This graph is based on intrinsic properties of objects such as structure and geometry, so it is more robust…

We suggest a compositional vector representation of parse trees that relies on a recursive combination of recurrent-neural network encoders. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we use the representation as the backbone of a greedy, bottom-up…

The task of translating between programming languages differs from the challenge of translating natural languages in that programming languages are designed with a far more rigid set of structural and grammatical rules. Previous work has…
