Addressing the Data Sparsity Issue in Neural AMR Parsing

Xiaochang Peng, Chuan Wang, Daniel Gildea, Nianwen Xue

Abstract
Neural attention models have achieved great success in different NLP tasks. However, they have not fulfilled their promise on the AMR parsing task due to the data sparsity issue. In this paper, we describe a sequence-to-sequence model for AMR parsing and present different ways to tackle the data sparsity problem. We show that our methods achieve significant improvement over a baseline neural attention model and our results are also competitive against state-of-the-art systems that do not use extra linguistic resources.
