The goal of the Uniform Meaning Representation (UMR) project is to design a meaning representation that can be used to annotate the semantic content of a text. UMR is primarily based on Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR), an annotation framework initially designed for English, but also draws from other meaning representations. UMR extends AMR to other languages, particularly morphologically complex, low-resource languages. UMR also adds features to AMR that are critical to semantic interpretation and enhances AMR by proposing a companion document-level representation that captures linguistic phenomena such as coreference as well as temporal and modal dependencies that potentially go beyond sentence boundaries. UMR is intended to be scalable, learnable, and cross-linguistically plausible. It is designed to support both lexical and logical inference.
