Abstract
This work experiments with various configurations of transformer-based sequence-to-sequence neural networks in training a Discourse Representation Structure (DRS) parser, and presents the results along with the code to reproduce our experiments for use by the community working on DRS parsing. These are configurations that have not been tested in prior work on this task. The Parallel Meaning Bank (PMB) English data sets are used to train the models. The results are evaluated on the PMB test sets using Counter, the standard Evaluation tool for DRSs. We show that the performance improves upon the previous state of the art by 0.5 (F1 %) for PMB 2.2.0 and 1.02 (F1 %) for PMB 3.0.0 test sets. We also present results on PMB 4.0.0, which has not been evaluated using Counter in previous research.- Anthology ID:
