Round-trips with meaning stopovers

摘要

This paper describes taking parsed sentences, going to meaning representations (the stopover), and then back to parsed sentences (the round trip). Keeping to the same language tests the combined success of building meaning representations from parsed input and of generating parsed output. Switching languages when manipulating meaning representations would achieve translation. Transfer shortfall is seen with meaning representations built from parsed parallel corpora data, with English-Japanese as an example.
