Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Semantics

Call Deadline: 30-Mar-2024

Meeting Description:

This workshop will focus on developing parsers for Uniform Meaning
Representations. The goal is to start from raw text from real-world
settings that could be in any one of many typologically different
languages, even low-resource languages for which there is little or no
training data. This can be achieved by exploiting a common semantic
annotation standard. This workshop has been made possible by funding
for NSF Collaborative Research: Building a Broad Infrastructure for
Uniform Meaning Representations (Award # 2213805), which is aimed at
developing guidelines and annotation for cross-lingual Uniform Meaning
Representations, based on the original Abstract Meaning Representation
guidelines for English, but ensuring cross-linguistically consistent
annotation and recoverability of the original raw texts.
This workshop will overlap with the last day of the Colorado UMR
Annotation Summer School.

Call for Papers:

The workshop is open to everyone and will cover the fundamentals of
UMR annotation and the differences between AMR and UMR. In addition to
the talk from our invited speaker, there will be presentations on
recent successful approaches to AMR parsing and how they can be
applied to UMR parsing.  We welcome submissions from anyone on related
topics, such as:

●       AMR or UMR parsing for any language
●       AMR or UMR generation for any language
●       Evaluation metrics for AMR or UMR parsing
●       Bootstrapping of AMRs or UMRs from related semantic
representations such as Propbanks
●       Projections of English AMR onto other languages;
●       Challenges of applying AMR annotation to languages other than
English;
●       Challenges of accurate multi-sentence coreference as a subtask
of AMR parsing;
●       Any other topic related to the parsing and generation of AMRs
or UMRs.

Submissions

Submissions should report original and unpublished research on topics
of interest to the workshop. Accepted papers are expected to be
presented at the workshop and will be published in the workshop
proceedings. They should emphasize obtained results rather than
intended work and should clearly indicate the state of completion of
the reported results.
Submission is electronic, using the Workshop submission site in Easy
Chair https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=umrpw2024. Submissions
must adhere to the two-column format of ACL venues, using the Overleaf
template taken from ACL 2023 https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/
acl-2023-proceedings-template/qjdgcrdwcnwp. Initial submissions should
be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind reviewing. Long papers must
not exceed eight (8) pages of content; short papers must not exceed
four (4) pages of content. References and appendices do not count
against these limits.
To ensure double-blind reviews, papers must not include the authors’
names and affiliations or self-references that reveal any author’s
identity. Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be
rejected without review.

Important dates
●       Workshop paper submissions due:         March 30, 2024
●       Notification of acceptance:     April 25, 2024
●       Camera-ready versions due:      May 30, 2024
