University of Purdue — Spring 2026 lecture PDF; however, this one is not clearly about semantics from the snippet alone, so I did not treat it as a confirmed semantics resource
https://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/suresh/565-Spring2026/lectures/Week1.pdf
Georgetown University — AMR-related slides. This deck is on AMR and evaluation, so it is useful if you specifically want Abstract Meaning Representation.

Intro to HLT semantics (2025 PDF) is a university-hosted slide deck, but it is focused on NLP/word sense disambiguation rather than pure linguistics-only semantics.

University of South Maine — “Natural Language Processing -- Session 25 - Semantic Parsing”. This is a university slide deck on semantic parsing, which is closely related to meaning representation
