Outdated guidelines examples with overly liberal paraphrases?

[nschneid]

The following paraphrases from the guidelines seem to go beyond the sorts of canonicalizations actually made by AMR annotators (dropping negative polarity "any"; dropping "fail to"):

(h / have-01 
   :polarity -
   :ARG0 (i / i)
   :ARG1 (m / money))

I don’t have any money.

I have no money.

(e / eat-01
   :polarity -
   :ARG0 (p / person
            :mod (e / every)))

No one ate.

Every person failed to eat.

(The latter is example (3) in Bender et al.'s IWCS 2015 paper, which brought it to my attention.) Should these be removed?

[kevincrawfordknight]

the first example is good as is. agreed, i would remove "...failed..." as a realization of the second example.

@kevincrawfordknight, do you think that "any" should be dropped in general? From a release search it looks like it's almost always in the AMR, e.g.:

[1] consensus isi_0002.139 (snt. 176 in workset guidelines, last updated on Wed Dec 5, 2012) He said he would support them as long as they didn't break any rules.

(s / say-01
      :ARG0 (h / he)
      :ARG1 (s2 / support-01
            :ARG0 h
            :ARG1 (t / they)
            :condition (a / as-long-as
                  :op1 (b / break-01 :polarity -
                        :ARG0 t
                        :ARG1 (r / rule
                              :mod (a2 / any))))))

[8] consensus wb.eng_0003.87 (snt. 87 in workset wb-eng-0003, last updated on Wed Dec 19, 2012) I have no desire to live in any city ,

(d / desire-01
  :ARG0 (i / i)
  :ARG1 (l / live-01
          :ARG0 i
          :location (c / city
                      :mod (a / any)))
  :polarity -)

[kevincrawfordknight]

maybe! (it should certainly be dropped in the "n't ... any" case you started with).

[nschneid]

Other cases to revisit:

• [x] paraphrasing "desire" and "eager" as want-01: The boy wants the girl to believe him. = The boy has a desire to be believed by the girl., etc.; Boys are eager to please. = Boys want to please. = Boys are desirous of pleasing.
• [x] paraphrasing "consume" as eat-01: a sandwich whose consumption is possible
• [ ] dropping "both" in "both X and Y": Release annotations are inconsistent. Document in AMR Dict, add to checker?
• [x] :mode expressive for "We went!": Should it be limited to interjections/non-declarative outbursts? Or everything with an exclamation point that is not imperative?
• [x] need a new :beneficiary example (should be core arg: The soldier sang to the girl as he walked with her to town.)
• [x] adjective examples that might now have frames, esp. the "Adjectives that invoke predicates" section. also, noun frames?
• [x] discussion of cycles in "AMR Freak Show" needs to be updated
• [ ] "AMR Slogans" could incorporate the Zen of AMR (#142; slides)
• [ ] if we adopt have-degree-91 (see #139), examples in the "Degree" section
• [x] no mention of wikification

e26f5e620f75846d10520b1ce2c4308178f2cbf6 fixes the examples with lexical paraphrases and :beneficiary. Waiting for resolution of some of the other issues above.

:mode expressive fixed in guidelines with #155
