Koller, A. and A. Lascarides [2009] A Logic of Semantic Representations for Shallow Parsing, in Proceedings of the 12th Conference of the European Chapter for the Association of Computational Linguistics (EACL), pp451--460, Athens.
One way to construct semantic representations in a robust manner is to enhance shallow language processors with semantic components. Here, we provide a model theory for a semantic formalism that is designed for this, namely Robust Minimal Recursion Semantics (RMRS). We show that RMRS supports a notion of entailment that allows it to form the basis for comparing the semantic output of different parses of varying depth.
