Abstract

Computational semantics is the business of associating meaning representations with natural language expressions (words, phrases, sentences, and texts), and drawing inferences from these meaning representations [1]. It is an area that has recently matured to a state in which we have at our disposal robust, widecoverage systems that are capable of producing formal semantic representations for open-domain texts. One of such system is Boxer, developed by myself over the last four years [2,3].
