  We develop high performance multilingualAbstract Meaning Representation (AMR)
sys-tems by projecting English AMR annotationsto other languages with weak
supervision. Weachieve this goal by bootstrapping transformer-based
multilingual word embeddings, in partic-ular those from cross-lingual RoBERTa
(XLM-R large). We develop a novel technique forforeign-text-to-English AMR
alignment, usingthe contextual word alignment between En-glish and foreign
language tokens. This wordalignment is weakly supervised and relies onthe
contextualized XLM-R word embeddings.We achieve a highly competitive
performancethat surpasses the best published results forGerman, Italian,
Spanish and Chinese.
