| Challenge: | ISO 24617-12 is a proposed new standard 1 for the annotation of quantification phenomena in natural language. |
| Approach: | This paper proposes an annotation scheme for quantification phenomena in natural language as part of the ISO Semantic Annotation Framework (ISO 24617) it combines ideas from the theory of generalised quantifiers, from neo-Davidsonian event semantics, and from Discourse Representation Theory. |
| Outcome: | The proposed standard 1 is an annotation scheme for quantification phenomena in natural language. |

Towards an ISO Standard for the Annotation of Quantification (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Quantification occurs in every sentence of written text or spoken discourse because application of a predicate to one or more sets of objects gives rise to questions of relative scope, of cardinality, and of distribution (or 'distributivity') of the predicacy over the sets of arguments. |
| Approach: | They propose an approach to the annotation of quantification that is being developed as part of an effort by the International Organisation for Standardisation ISO to define interoperable semantic annotation schemes. |
| Outcome: | The proposed scheme includes both count and mass NP quantifiers, as well as NPs with syntactically and semantically complex heads with internal quantification and scoping structures. |

| Challenge: | a project aimed at establishing an interoperable annotation schema for quantification phenomena was relaunched in early 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic . |
| Approach: | This paper describes the continuation of a project that aims at establishing an interoperable annotation schema for quantification phenomena as part of the ISO suite of semantic annotation standards. |
| Outcome: | The proposed schema is part of the ISO suite of semantic annotation standards known as the Semantic Annotation Framework (SemAF). |

| Challenge: | ISO standard 24617-2 for dialogue act annotation has been used in corpus annotation and in the design of components for spoken and multimodal interactive systems. |
| Approach: | ISO standard 24617-2 for dialogue act annotation is proposed for a second edition . this second edition allows a more accurate annotation of dependence relations and rhetorical relations in dialogue. |
| Outcome: | The proposed second edition of ISO 24617-2 for dialogue act annotation addresses some inaccuracies and undesirable limitations. |

| Challenge: | outlines the projected second part of the Corpus Query Lingua Franca (CQLF) family of standards . the existence of a large number of different corpus query languages poses an epistemic challenge for the research community . |
| Approach: | They propose to standardize the Corpus Query Lingua Franca (CQLF) family of standards . they present the assumptions and aims of the CQLF Metamodel and its basic structure . |

Quantifying Generalizations: Exploring the Divide Between Human and LLMs’ Sensitivity to Quantification (2024.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Generics are expressions used to communicate abstractions about categories . they allow for exceptions, and they are a powerful way to express knowledge about the world . |
| Approach: | They examine how large language models interpret generics to understand their meanings . they find that the presence of a generic sentence as context influences quantifiers based on the generalization . |
| Outcome: | The proposed models do not exhibit a strong sensitivity to quantification, the study finds . the results suggest that the presence of a generic sentence as context influences quantifiers . |
Generics are not quantificational: A new path from language models to semantic theory (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Generic sentences express generalizations that tolerate exceptions without explicitly communicating information about quantities. |
| Approach: | They compare generics and quantificational sentences to find out what quantifiers are . they argue that generics are not quantificationals, contrary to dominant views . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model recovers many semantic facts about quantifiers and their "quantificational counterparts". |
QUD-Based Annotation of Discourse Structure and Information Structure: Tool and Evaluation (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new annotation scheme and discourse-analytic method is developed for information structure annotation. |
| Approach: | They propose a new annotation scheme and a discourse-analytic method based on Questions under Discussion . they introduce a tool which enables the analyst to semi-automatically segment texts and enhance them with QUDs . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves good inter-annotator scores and good agreement with discourse annotations. |
A Multi-Dimensional, Cross-Domain and Hierarchy-Aware Neural Architecture for ISO-Standard Dialogue Act Tagging (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Dialogue Act tagging with ISO 24617-2 standard is a difficult task that requires multiple labels covering semantic, syntactic and pragmatic aspects of dialogue. |
| Approach: | They propose a neural architecture to increase Dialogue Act tagging accuracy by using low-frequency fine-grained tags. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art tagging results on DialogBank data set . it uses syntactic information in the form of Part-Of-Speech and dependency tags . |
A Comprehensive Evaluation of Quantization Strategies for Large Language Models (2024.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Quantization studies have focused on instruction-tuned LLMs, leaving their performance on other benchmarks unclear. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework to evaluate quantized large language models using four dimensions . they propose to reduce the bits needed for model weights or activations with minimal performance loss . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can retain comparable performance to non-quantized LLMs on most benchmarks. |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | ISO 24617-2 is the ISO standard for dialog act annotation. |
| Approach: | They map the original dialog act labels of the LEGO corpus into the communicative functions of ISO 24617-2 . they propose to use this data to develop approaches for dialog act recognition . |
| Outcome: | The mapped dialogs improve performance while recognizing communicative functions . the standard is based on 17 English dialogs, which are used in the study . |
