Abstract

Ambiguities in a natural language expression are interpreted by jointly disambiguating multiple alternative syntactic and semantic interpretations. More than one syntactic alternative, represented by parse contexts, are analyzed together with joint analysis of referents, word senses, relation types, and layout of a semantic representation for each syntactic alternative. Best combinations of interpretations are selected from all participating parse contexts, and are used to form parse contexts for the next step in parsing.
