Generating English from Abstract Meaning Representations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for generating English sentences from Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) graphs, exploiting a parallel corpus of AMRs and English sentences. We treat AMR-to-English generation as phrase-based machine translation (PBMT). We introduce a method that learns to linearize tokens of AMR graphs into an English-like order. Our linearization reduces the amount of distortion in PBMT and increases generation quality. We report a Bleu score of 26.8 on the standard AMR/English test set.

Generation from Abstract Meaning Representation using Tree Transducers
Language generation from purely semantic representations is a challenging task. This paper addresses generating English from the Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR), consisting of re-entrant graphs whose nodes are concepts and edges are relations. The new method is trained statistically from AMRannotated English and consists of two major steps: (i) generating an appropriate spanning tree for ...
متن کاملRound trips with meaning stopovers
This paper describes taking parsed sentences, going to meaning representations (the stopover), and then back to parsed sentences (the round trip). Keeping to the same language tests the combined success of building meaning representations from parsed input and of generating parsed output. Switching languages when manipulating meaning representations would achieve translation. Transfer shortfall...
متن کاملTransition-Based Generation from Abstract Meaning Representations
This work addresses the task of generating English sentences from Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) graphs. To cope with this task, we transform each input AMR graph into a structure similar to a dependency tree and annotate it with syntactic information by applying various predefined actions to it. Subsequently, a sentence is obtained from this tree structure by visiting its nodes in a spe...
متن کاملDeterministic natural language generation from meaning representations for machine translation
This paper describes a deterministic method for generating natural language suited to being part of a machine translation system with meaning representations as the level for language transfer. Starting from Davidsonian/Penman meaning representations, syntactic trees are built following the Penn Parsed Corpus of Modern British English, from which the yield (i.e., the words) can be taken. The no...
متن کاملAligning English Strings with Abstract Meaning Representation Graphs
We align pairs of English sentences and corresponding Abstract Meaning Representations (AMR), at the token level. Such alignments will be useful for downstream extraction of semantic interpretation and generation rules. Our method involves linearizing AMR structures and performing symmetrized EM training. We obtain 86.5% and 83.1% alignment F score on development and test sets.
