Structural and Global Features for Comparing Semantic Representation Formalisms

Siyana Pavlova, Maxime Amblard, Bruno Guillaume


Abstract
The area of designing semantic/meaning representations is a dynamic one with new formalisms and extensions being proposed continuously. It may be challenging for users of semantic representations to select the relevant formalism for their purpose or for newcomers to the field to select the features they want to represent in a new formalism. In this paper, we propose a set of structural and global features to consider when designing formalisms, and against which formalisms can be compared. We also propose a sample comparison of a number of existing formalisms across the selected features, complemented by a more entailment-oriented comparison on the phenomena of the FraCaS corpus.
