## Papers

1. **[First Shared Task on UMR Parsing](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/tepanek-2026-first-shared-task-umr-parsing/)** *(2026)* The paper sets up the first shared task on UMR parsing. A system gets plain text and must return sentence-level graphs, the alignment of each node to tokens, and document-level relations such as coreference, temporal and modal links. Seven languages from four families take part: Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, Na-Dene…
2. **[Mapping AMR to UMR: Resources for Adapting Existing Corpora for Cross-Lingual Compatibility](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/bonn-2023-mapping-amr-umr-resources-adapting/)** *(2023)* A reference paper that lists how AMR structures map onto UMR, the typologically motivated successor to AMR.
3. **[UMR Annotation of Multiword Expressions](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/bonn-2023-umr-annotation-multiword-expressions/)** *(2023)* This is a guideline paper. It runs no experiment and reports no counts. UMR, which is based on AMR, maps words to concepts. The authors define a multiword expression (MWE) operationally: several words that together form one concept. They sort MWEs into three groups. Fixed MWEs are unmodifiable word sequences, such as…
4. **[Translation Divergences in Chinese–English Machine Translation: An Empirical Investigation](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/deng-2017-translation-divergences-chinese-english-machine/)** *(2017)* The authors take about 10,000 Chinese–English sentence pairs that have manually built parse trees on both sides.
5. **[CoNLL 2016 Shared Task on Multilingual Shallow Discourse Parsing](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/xue-2016-conll-2016-shared-task-multilingual/)** *(2016)* The shared task asks systems to find shallow discourse relations in news text. Each relation has a connective (explicit, such as "because", or implicit, inserted between adjacent sentences), two argument spans (Arg1 and Arg2, defined semantically for Chinese) and a sense (for example Cause, Condition or Contrast).…
6. **[Not an Interlingua, But Close: Comparison of English AMRs to Chinese and Czech](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/xue-2014-not-interlingua-but-close-comparison/)** *(2014)* The authors take 100 English sentences that already have AMR graphs, translate them into Chinese and Czech, and write AMR graphs for the translations.
7. **[CoNLL-2012 Shared Task: Modeling Multilingual Unrestricted Coreference in OntoNotes](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/pradhan-2012-conll-2012-shared-task-modeling/)** *(2012)* The paper describes the CoNLL-2012 shared task: coreference in English, Chinese and Arabic on OntoNotes 5.0.
8. **[CoNLL-2011 Shared Task: Modeling Unrestricted Coreference in OntoNotes](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/pradhan-2011-conll-2011-shared-task-modeling/)** *(2011)* The paper describes the CoNLL-2011 shared task on general coreference in OntoNotes. OntoNotes links identical reference (IDENT) for pronouns, names and definite NPs, and for events, not only NPs or a fixed set of entity types. Appositives are tagged separately as attributes. Singletons are not annotated, so mention…
9. **[The CoNLL-2009 Shared Task: Syntactic and Semantic Dependencies in Multiple Languages](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/hajic-2009-conll-2009-shared-task-syntactic/)** *(2009)* This is the overview of the 2009 CoNLL shared task on joint syntactic dependency parsing and semantic role labelling.
