WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION</div><div><div>Semantic parsers map sentences to formal representations of their underlying meaning. Recently, algorithms have been developed to learn to recover increasingly expressive representations with ever weaker forms of supervision. These advances have enabled many applications, including question answering, relation extraction, robot control, interpreting instructions, and generating programs.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This workshop, collocated with ACL 2014, aims to achieve two goals. First, to bring together researchers in the field to discuss the state of the art and opportunities for future research. Second, to create a stage for presenting the variety of current approaches, thereby providing a unique opportunity for new entrants to the field.</div>
