Towards AMR-BR: A SemBank for Brazilian Portuguese Language

Proceedings of the Eleventh International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2018)

Abstract

We present in this paper an effort to build an AMR (Abstract Meaning Representation) annotated corpus (a semantic bank) for Brazilian Portuguese. AMR is a recent and prominent meaning representation with good acceptance and several applications in the Natural Language Processing area. Following what has been done for other languages, and using an alignment-based approach for annotation, we annotated the Little Prince book, which went into the public domain and explored some language-specific annotation issues.
