DIKU Bits - Meaning Representation and Parsing

Speaker

Daniel Hershcovich, postdoc in the Machine Learning section at DIKU.

Abstract

Natural Language Processing models can complete your sentences surprisingly well. Do they capture what you mean, or simply exploit statistical tendencies in their massive training data? Is there a difference?

I will present symbolic frameworks that represent sentence meaning, exposing challenges in language understanding and helping AI systems learn how to reason, interface with knowledge-bases and even translate between languages.
