<div dir="ltr">G'day,<div><br></div><div>I have been asked about the current state of non-English treebanks. I have answered about Hinoki (9,128 treebanked sentences out of 15,000, slightly old grammar).

It was very interesting to talk to you. It turns out that I now have some HPSG/MRS related questions for you: I'm participating in a JSALT workshop (<a class="gmail-m_-9028170088770340545moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.lti.cs.cmu.edu/2017-jelinek-workshop" target="_blank">https://www.lti.cs.cmu.edu/<wbr>2017-jelinek-workshop</a>) on neural machine translation and we have become interested in MRS as a semantic representation for NMT. For English, we have a rich resource in form of DeepBank. We have found that ERG is not robust enough to do our MRS parsing but Buys and Blunsom (<a class="gmail-m_-9028170088770340545moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.07092" target="_blank">https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.<wbr>07092</a>) have demonstrated a robust transition-based parser for MRS that they trained on a subset of DeepBank, and we may do something similar.<br> <br> We are now interested in other resources that contain significant amounts of MRS. I noticed that you mention MRS in a paper on the Hinoko Treebank. Is this treebank available? Do you know how many MRSs it contains? Do you know of other treebanks that contain significant numbers of hand-annotated/corrected MRS representations, especially for non-English languages?<span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br> </font></span></font><span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"> <pre class="gmail-m_-9028170088770340545moz-signature" cols="72">-- Best, David R.
