Cache Transition Systems for Semantic Parsing
Abstract: We describe a transition system that generalizes standard transition-based dependency parsing techniques to generate a graph rather than a tree. Our system includes a cache with fixed size m, and we characterize the relationship between the parameter m and the class of graphs that can be produced through the graph-theoretic concept of tree decomposition. We train a sequence-to-sequence neural model based on this system to parse text into Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR).

Title: SCRIPTS: a System for Cross Language Information Processing,Translation and Summarization
Abstract: This presentation will give an overview of the research conducted by CLIP students and facuty to develop a System for Cross Language Information Processing, Translation and Summarization, as part of the IARPA MATERIAL program.
CLIP lab members get 5 minutes each to talk about their summer research. All are welcome to attend.
