The Widely Interpretable Semantic Representation (WISeR) captures both abstract and concrete concepts as well as their relations in plain text. One major focus of this project is to design a meaning representation that can be easily converted into semantic graphs for probabilistic reasoning on dialogue context. WISeR is distinguished from general Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) as:
- It provides deeper and richer levels of abstraction.
- It is Interpretable by non-experts in computational structures.
- It covers relations across utterances (e.g., referents, external arguments).
