Rankings and comparisons about amr-guidelines

[nschneid]

If there is a special treatment for these sorts of rankings, it would also be nice to have a solution for temporal sequences ("the third thing that happened was..."; "the third time I saw him").

This relates to ordinals which we should revisit at the ISI workshop next week. One of our interns already worked on a proposal. Some issues similar to frequencies.

"fourth largest" (using current conventions)

(l / large
  :degree (m / most
            :mod (f / fourth)))

"fourth largest" (candidate for AMR 1.5)

(l / large
  :degree (m / most
            :ord 4))

Hi all,

We have also struggled with similar examples and we were tempted to go to "rank-01" due to the fact that it has a role for the position (possibly as a reification of a :rank role maybe).

Iran is the most prolific applier of the death penalty in the world after China.

rank.01 - "assign a position in a list"

ARG0: assigner   Agent
ARG1: thing assigned a position   Theme
ARG2: position   Predicate

I think that this will be captured by the ordinal proposal for future usages. Although I like Madalina's suggestion using "rank", I'm not sure if it quite captures the concept as used above, because it seems like the rank is both "most prolific" and "after China". Under the assumption that we will eventually update past annotations with the ordinal proposal, I might use this for some of the instances here. Let me know if that will be a problem!

I would suggest the following AMR for   Iran is the most prolific applier of the death penalty in the world after China.

(s / sentence-01
  :ARG0 (c / country :name (n / name :op1 "Iran"))
  :ARG2 (d / die-01)
  :frequency (p / prolific
               :degree (m / most
                         :mod (a / after
                                :op1 (c2 / country :name (n2 / name :op1 "China"))))
               :compared-to (w / world)))

Suggestion for   Embraer is the world 's 4 th largest aircraft manufacturer and Brazil's top exporter.

(a / and
  :op1 (c / company
         :ARG0-of (m / manufacture-01
                    :ARG1 (a2 / aircraft))
         :mod (l / large
                :degree (m2 / most
                           :mod fourth                          # outgoing annotation style
                           :ord (o / ordinal-entity :value 4)   # incoming annotation style
                           :compared-to (w / world)))
         :domain (c2 / company :name (n / name :op1 "Embraer")))
  :op2 (c3 / company
          :ARG0-of (e / export-01
                     :degree (m3 / most
                                :compared-to (c4 / country :name (n2 / name :op1 "Brazil"))))
          :domain c2))
