Exploring Neural Models for Parsing Natural Language into First-Order Logic
February 2020 • Hrituraj Singh, Milan Aggarwal, Balaji Krishnamurthy
Semantic parsing is the task of obtaining machine-interpretable representations from natural language text. We consider one such formal representation - First-Order Logic (FOL) and explore the capability of neural models in parsing English sentences to FOL. We model FOL parsing as a sequence to sequence mapping task where given a natural language sentence, it is encoded into an intermediate representation using an LSTM followed by a decoder which sequentially generates the predicates in the corresponding FOL formu…
