(Dis)similarities between the Tectogrammatical Representation of Meaning and the AMR
Speaker:
Jan Hajič
Abstract:
Tectogrammatical Representation is the meaning representation used in the family of Prague Dependency Treebanks, including the parallel English-Czech dependency treebank based on the WSJ texts used for the Penn Treebank. In the talk, the tectogrammatical representation (TR) and its basic principles will be shortly introduced, and the main features will be demonstrated on examples from a 100-sentence corpus annotated both at the TR level as well as with AMRs. Differences between the two representations will be highlited and discussed, together with their possible influence on (meaning-based) MT systems.
