Welcome to the Uniform Meaning Representation Project!

The Uniform Meaning (UMR) project is a collaborative research program between faculty and students at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Brandeis University, and the University of New Mexico, whose goal is to design a meaning representation that can be used to annotate the semantic content of a text in any language.

UMR extends AMR to other languages, particularly morphologically complex, low-resource languages. UMR also adds features to AMR that are critical to semantic interpretation and enhances AMR by proposing a companion document-level representation that captures linguistic phenomena such as coreference as well as temporal and modal dependencies that potentially go beyond sentence boundaries. UMR is intended to be scalable, learnable, and cross-linguistically plausible. It is designed to support both lexical and logical inference.
