Syllabus 		Natural Language Processing Systems
Topic for spring 2019: Meaning Representation and Parsing.
Prerequisites for spring 2019: COSI 114b, 134a, 137b or instructor consent. This is a seminar-style research-oriented course where students will work on a project, and report their results in the format of a typical research paper presented at major conferences such as ACL, NAACL, and EMNLP. The main topics this year will be meaning representation and parsing. Meaning representation comes in different flavors, and we will examine the different schools of thought on meaning representation and their theoretical underpinnings. In particular, we will spend a significant part of the course on Abstract Meaning Representation, a graph-based meaning representation that has gained traction in the field of NLP in recent years. We will discuss how to extend AMR to different languages and work towards a Universal Meaning Representation that applies to a diverse set of languages and supports both lexical and logical inference. We will also devote a substantial amount of time going over computational approaches to AMR/UMR parsing, which are rapidly evolving. It is expected that students will develop their own ideas on meaning representation and parsing as they learn about existing approaches and work towards a term project that could result in a conference submission.
