Logical Representations of Sentence Meaning

Computational Desiderata for Representations:

Verifiability:

Verifiability is a system’s ability to compare the state of affairs described by a representation to the state of affairs in some world as modeled in a knowledge base.

Unambiguous Representations:

The meaning representations itself cannot be ambiguous. The representation of an input’s meaning should be free from any ambiguity, so that the system can reason over a representation that means either one thing or the other in order to decide how to answer. Vagueness: in which a meaning representation leaves some parts of the meaning underspecified.

Canonical Form:

The doctrine of canonical form says that distinct inputs that mean the same thing should have the same meaning representation. Canonical form does complicate the task of semantic parsing.
