:mode imperative

[saramosher888]

The AMR checker is finding an error for sentences that are annotated with :mode imperative. The error is "unusual agent at :arg0". How should we resolve these? Currently they all have a country name in :arg0, but that's coming back as an error. If we don't want a country name in :arg0, I guess the alternative would be simply not to use :mode imperative. Whenever possible, I've been trying to use propose-01 instead in order to avoid this error, but the sentences below don't fit that model. Thoughts?

Examples:

• "Please lie to Italy." (dip_train_0009.548)
• "I literally just told Italy to go after Turkey first." (dip_train_0012.5)
• "Basically just don't bounce me out of Gas." (dip_train_0022.214)
• "Don't fuck me over tho." (dip_train_0022.328)

Thanks. I updated the AMR Checker to allow the :ARG0 to be a country under :mode imperative for all of the following: attack-01, betray-01, build-01, hold-03, lie-08, prevent-01, support-01, trust-01, tell-01. That eliminates most of the warnings (not errors) you mentioned.

For sentence dip_0001.6 in workset dip01, I personally used submit-01 instead of imperative:

(s / submit-01
      :ARG1 (a / and
            :op1 (h / hold-03
                  :ARG1 (a2 / army
                        :mod (c / country :name (n / name :op1 "England"))
                        :location (p / province :name (n2 / name :op1 "Liverpool"))))
            :op2 (m / move-01
                  :ARG1 (f / fleet
                        :mod c
                        :location (p2 / province :name (n3 / name :op1 "London")))
                  :ARG2 (s3 / sea :name (n4 / name :op1 "North" :op2 "Sea")))
            :op3 (s2 / support-01
                  :ARG0 (f2 / fleet
                        :mod c
                        :location (p3 / province :name (n5 / name :op1 "Edinburgh")))
                  :ARG1 m)))

I didn't think we were using submit-01?

[jkkummerfeld]

What was the resolution here?

[saramosher888]

I don't think we resolved the question of using submit-01 (it's not in the list of concepts that we have been using for this project so far). For the :mode imperative warnings, we still get warnings for the other concepts (propose-01, etc) but I'm ignoring them.

[jkkummerfeld]

Let's continue to not use submit-01 then.

Re: warnings, can you make a list of other concepts they are being raised on? Let's quickly look through the list and then for each concept either Ulf can disable the warnings, or we can plan to look at whether the annotation should change.

[saramosher888]

OK, yes, I will make a list.

[saramosher888]

Currently the only outstanding warnings that I can find are for fear-01 (as in "Don't worry about a fleet in Spain.") I should say that we have sometimes gotten around the :mode imperative problem by using propose-01 instead.

Example: "Ask France to support me into Munich". This sentence could be annotated two ways.

1. :mode imperative with propose-01 (Ask France to support me). This generates a warning because propose-01 isn't allowed with :mode imperative.
2. propose-01 with propose-01 (I propose that you propose to France that they support me to Munich). This doesn't generate a warning.

Propose-01 is bulkier to annotate than :mode imperative, but it's still easier to use because it can accommodate a wider variety of concepts without generating extra warnings. Most of the time I actually think using propose-01 is a better choice anyway, because they are usually allowing the other player room to refuse or make a different suggestion. But I would still like to see propose-01 added to the list of concepts that can be used with :mode imperative.

[saramosher888]

Correction: We also have outstanding warnings for :mode imperative with demilitarize-01 and for remove-01. So here's the list:

• fear-01
• demilitarize-01
• propose-01
• remove-01 (but the example we have open right now would be better served by using dislodge, if we end up adding that as a concept).

[saramosher888]

One more: hold-03. I think Ulf said that he fixed that one, but I'm still getting warnings. Example: dip_validation_0009 #46

[saramosher888]

Updated list:

• fear-01
• demilitarize-01
• propose-01
• transport-01
• warn-01
• hold-03
• remove-01 (though this particular example would be better served by adding a new concept for dislodge instead)

Thanks, Sara. So far I have updated the AMR Editor to allow the following:

• for fear-01, propose-01, warn-01: allow :ARG0 country
• for support-01, transport-01: allow :ARG0 fleet

dip_0001.6 hold-03 :mode imperative :ARG0 army. In this annotation, shouldn't the army be :ARG1?

[saramosher888]

Can we also allow :mode imperative :arg0 country for have-03, gain-02, and ally-01?

[uhermjakob]

OK, added.
