This is the second call for applications for a five-day summer school on Uniform Meaning Representations (UMR).

In this five-day course, instructors from the University of Colorado and Brandeis University will describe theframework of Uniform Meaning Representations (UMRs), a recent cross-lingual, multi-sentence incarnation ofAbstract Meaning Representations (AMRs), that addresses these issues and comprises such a transformativerepresentation. Incorporating Named Entity tagging, discourse relations, intra-sentential coreference, negation andmodality, and the popular PropBank-style predicate argument structures with semantic role labels into a singledirected acyclic graph structure, UMR builds on AMR and keeps the essential characteristics of AMR while making itcross-lingual and extending it to be a document-level representation. It also adds aspect, multi-sentencecoreference and temporal relations, and scope. Each day will include lectures and hands-on practice.
