HD-NLP GROUP PARTICIPATING IN IWCS 2023, NANCY, IN JUNE

In June, members of the HD-NLP Group at ICL are participating in the
17th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS 2023) in Nancy, with two publications and an invited talk.

• We are proud that Juri Opitz will give an invited talk in the Workshop on Designing Meaning Representations (DMR) at IWCS in Nancy.
  He will be talking about:
  

  Metrics of Graph-Based Meaning Representations
  with Applications from Parsing Evaluation to Explainable NLG Evaluation and Semantic Search
  

  -- his recent PhD work!

• SMARAGD: Learning SMatch for Accurate and Rapid Approximate Graph Distance,
  by Juri Opitz, Philipp Meier and Anette Frank, to appear in IWCS 2023
  We show how graph distance, a hard combinatorial problem, can be accurately approximated with neural networks and data augmentation.
  
• AMR4NLI: Interpretable and robust NLI measures from semantic graphs,
  by Juri Opitz, Shira Wein, Julius Steen, Anette Frank and Nathan Schneider, to appear in IWCS 2023
  This paper shows that linguistic representations such as AMR can help increase the interpretability, robustness, and accuracy of NLI predictions.

Congratulations to all authors!
