English/Russian to UNL enconverter
Viacheslav Dikonov · 2011
This paper presents a new UNL enconverter- an automatic rule based tool to transform English and Russian text into semantic graphs. It is built on top of the ETAP-3 linguistic processor, which is largely based on the general linguistic framework of the Meaning↔Text theory by Mel ’ č uk. We describe the principles and operation of the enconverter and highlight its key features. The UNL graphs produced by this system are understood by several UNL deconverters which transform them back into text in different languages. The system represents a step further beyond the level of deep syntactic structure towards building a complete Text→Meaning model.
