Abstract meaning representation (AMR) is a semantic formalism used to represent the meaning of sentences as directed acyclic graphs. In this paper, we describe how real digital dictionaries can be embedded into AMR directed graphs…

Abstract Meaning Representation parsing is a sentence-to-graph prediction task where target nodes are not explicitly aligned to sentence tokens. However, since graph nodes are semantically based on one or more sentence tokens, implicit…
