Overview
DMR 2024 invites the submissions of long and short papers about
original works on meaning representations. As the special theme of DMR
2024, we also invite the submissions of original research that have in
any way leveraged, expanded, or been inspired by the “Marthaverse of
Meaning”-- the 50 years of gold-standard contributions to the field of
NLP by 2023 ACL lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Dr. Martha
Palmer.

Broader Goals
DMR intends to bring together researchers who are producers and
consumers of meaning representations and, through their interaction,
gain a deeper understanding of the key elements of meaning
representations that are the most valuable to the NLP community. The
workshop will provide an opportunity for meaning representation
researchers to present new frameworks and to critically examine
existing frameworks with the goal of using their findings to inform
the design of next-generation meaning representations. One particular
goal is to explore opportunities and identify challenges in the design
and use of meaning representations in multilingual settings. Another
is to understand the relationship between distributed meaning
representations trained on large data sets using network models and
the symbolic meaning representations that are carefully designed and
annotated by NLP researchers, with an aim of gaining a deeper
understanding of areas where each type of meaning representation is
the most effective.

Special Theme: A Marthaverse of Meaning
In her 2023 ACL Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech, Dr.
Martha Palmer (University of Colorado, Boulder) sums up her 50 years
of research in AI and NLP in six words: “Finding meaning, quite
literally, in words.” This year's workshop honors Dr. Palmer's
contributions with a special theme on resources, approaches, and
applications that draw upon her manifold contributions to the field.
These resources include Treebanks (Chinese and Arabic TreeBanks, Hindi
and Urdu Treebanks), PropBanks (English, Chinese and Arabic), VerbNet,
OntoNotes, Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR), and Uniform Meaning
Representation (UMR). These resources share attention to semantic
detail combined with scalability and, therefore, an ability to
generalize to and support a variety of different NLP applications and
tasks. Indeed, the applicability of her research extends beyond the
textual to the multimodal, where she has broadly contributed to the
cross-modal event understanding.

DMR 2024 seeks to highlight the depth and the breadth of Dr. Palmer's
contributions and their influence over the field of natural language
processing by inviting the submission of original works that have in
any way leveraged, expanded, or been inspired by the ``Marthaverse of
Meaning.'' We also seek to recognize Dr. Palmer's long tenure of
dedication to outstanding mentorship that has been so powerful for the
many students who have gone on to shape the NLP research community and
the field at large.
