Formal Investigations of Underspecified Representations
, 2005
"... In this thesis, two requirements on Underspecified Representation Formalisms are investi-gated in detail in the context of underspecification of scope. The requirement on partial disambiguation, stating that partially disambiguated ambiguities need to be represented, does not carry much content unle ..."

In this thesis, two requirements on Underspecified Representation Formalisms are investi-gated in detail in the context of underspecification of scope. The requirement on partial disambiguation, stating that partially disambiguated ambiguities need to be represented, does not carry much content
CHUMP: Partial Parsing and Underspecified Representations
- In Proceedings of the ECAI-96 Workshop: Corpus-Oriented Semantic Analysis
, 1996
"... . Robustness is a highly desirable trait for natural language processing systems. Among other things, a robust system would have broad coverage and its output would degrade gracefully as inputs strayed from the area of coverage. Systems that attempt global optimization and complete syntactic and sem ..."

and semantic analysis tend to have limited coverage and to degrade less than gracefully. In addition, as their coverageincreases, their efficiency often decreases.In this paper we describe the CHUMP system which utilizes partial parsing and underspecified semantic representations to provide partial semantic
Disambiguation as (Defeasible) Reasoning about Underspecified Representations
- in Papers from the Tenth Amsterdam Colloquium
, 1995
"... UNDERSPECIFIED REPRESENTATIONS have been proposed as a way of formalizing sentence disambiguation in terms of (usually, nonmonotonic) reasoning. But in fact the existing theories about the semantics of underspecified representations either fail to capture our intuitions about ambiguity, or lead one ..."

A General Reasoning Scheme for Underspecified Representations
, 1996
"... In this paper we present an underspecified logic, i.e. a pair consisting of a proper underspecified semantic representation formalism and a deductive component that directly operates on these structures. We show how the main features of this formalism can be imported into other existing underspecifi ..."

An Improved Redundancy Elimination Algorithm for Underspecified Representations
"... We present an efficient algorithm for the redundancy elimination problem: Given an underspecified semantic representation (USR) of a scope ambiguity, compute an USR with fewer mutually equivalent readings. The algorithm operates on underspecified chart representations which are derived from dominanc ..."

A LAF/GrAF based Encoding Scheme for underspecified Representations of syntactic Annotations
"... Data models and encoding formats for syntactically annotated text corpora need to deal with syntactic ambiguity; underspecified representations are particularly well suited for the representation of ambiguous data because they allow for high informational efficiency. We discuss the issue of being in ..."

Relaxing Underspecified Semantic Representations for Reinterpretation
, 1999
"... Type and sort conflicts in semantics are usually resolved by a process of reinterpretation. Recently, Egg (1999) has proposed an alternative account in which conflicts are avoided by underspecification. The main idea is to derive sufficiently relaxed underspecified semantic representations; addition ..."

An Underspecified HPSG Representation for Information Structure
, 1996
"... Information structure can be of great use in linguistic applications, especially in those involving a speech component. However, focus marking by prosody is often ambiguous. Existing theories capture this by rules that produce alternative focus structures. This disjunction is hard to handle computat ..."
