Transformer Semantic Parsing

Gabriela Ferraro, Hanna Suominen


Abstract
In neural semantic parsing, sentences are mapped to meaning representations using encoder-decoder frameworks. In this paper, we propose to apply the Transformer architecture, instead of recurrent neural networks, to this task. Experiments in two data sets from different domains and with different levels of difficulty show that our model achieved better results than strong baselines in certain settings and competitive results across all our experiments.
