AMALGrAM

AMALGrAM (A Machine Analyzer of Lexical Groupings And Meanings) analyzes English sentences for multiword expressions (MWEs) and noun and verb supersenses. For example, given the sentence

I do n't think he 's afraid to take a strong stand on gun control , what with his upbringing in El Paso .

the analysis

I do|`a n't think|cognition he 's|stative afraid to take_a_ strong _stand|cognition on gun_control|ARTIFACT , what_with his upbringing|ATTRIBUTE in El_Paso|LOCATION .

will be predicted, grouping "take a stand", "gun control", "what with", and "El Paso" as MWEs and labeling several lexical expressions with supersenses (UPPERCASE for nouns, lowercase for verbs). The model and algorithms implemented in the tool are described in Schneider et al. (TACL 2014, NAACL-HLT 2015), and resources required to use it are available at http://www.ark.cs.cmu.edu/LexSem/.
