Abstract

In the era of Large Language Models (LLMs), the pursuit of a unified, language-independent representation of meaning remains both essential and complex. This talk revisits the rationale for advancing semantic understanding beyond the capabilities of LLMs and highlights the development of a large-scale multilingual inter-task resource like MOSAICo and the design of innovative methods that bridge word- and sentence-level meanings across languages. I will also explore how building a robust, multilingual framework for interpreting meaning with greater precision and depth enhances the quality and reliability of system outputs, including text generated by LLMs.
