Abstract

Semantic Parsing is a key problem for many artificial intelligence tasks, such as information retrieval, question answering and dialogue system. In this paper, we give the overview of the open domain semantic parsing shared task in NLPCC 2019. We first review existing semantic parsing datasets. Then, we describe open domain semantic parsing shared task in this year’s NLPCC, especially focusing on the dataset construction. The evaluation results of submissions from participating teams are presented in the experimental part.
