The long and the short of it: DRASTIC, a semantically annotated dataset containing sentences of more natural length

This paper presents a new dataset with Discourse Representation Structures (DRSs) annotated over naturally-occurring sentences. Importantly, these sentences are more varied in length and on average longer than those in the existing gold-standard DRS dataset, the Parallel Meaning Bank, and we show that they are therefore much harder for parsers. We argue, though, that this provides a more realistic assessment of the difficulties of DRS parsing.
