Projecting RMRS from TIGER dependencies

Kathrin Spreyer, Anette Frank · Proceedings of the International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar · 2005

We present a method for automatic RMRS semantics construction from dependency structures, following the semantic algebra of Copestake et al. (2001). We have applied this method to a subset of the TIGER Dependency Bank for German (Forst et al., 2004) to obtain a semantic treebank for (HPSG) parser evaluation. We describe the semantics construction mechanism and give evaluation figures from manual validation of the treebank. These indicate high precision of the automatic RMRS construction process.
