Robust Natural Language Processing - Combining Reasoning, Cognitive Semantics, and Construction Grammar for Spatial Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a system for generating and understanding of dynamic and static spatial relations in robotic interaction setups. Robots describe an environment of moving blocks using English phrases that include spatial relations such as “across” and “in front of”. We evaluate the system in robot-robot interactions and show that the system can robustly deal with visual perception errors, language omissions and ungrammatical utterances.

The Architecture of FunGramKB
Natural language understanding systems require a knowledge base provided with conceptual representations reflecting the structure of human beings’ cognitive system. Although surface semantics can be sufficient in some other systems, the construction of a robust knowledge base guarantees its use in most natural language processing applications, consolidating thus the concept of resource reuse. I...
متن کاملCOGPARSE: Brain-Inspired Knowledge-Driven Full Semantics Parsing - Radical Construction Grammar, Categories, Knowledge-Based Parsing & Representation
Humans use semantics during parsing; so should computers. In contrast to phrase structure-based parsers, COGPARSE seeks to determine which meaning-bearing components are present in a text, using world knowledge and lexical semantics for construction grammar form selection, syntactic overlap processing, disambiguation, and confidence calculation. In a brain-inspired way, COGPARSE aligns parsing ...
متن کاملCognitive Modules of an NLP Knowledge Base for Language Understanding
Some natural language processing systems, e.g. machine translation, require a knowledge base with conceptual representations reflecting the structure of human beings’ cognitive system. In some other systems, e.g. automatic indexing or information extraction, surface semantics could be sufficient, but the construction of a robust knowledge base guarantees its use in most natural language process...
متن کاملToward Integrating Cognitive Linguistics and Cognitive Language Processing
We present a system to comprehend natural language that combines cognitive linguistics with known properties of human language processing. It is built on Embodied Construction Grammar (ECG) and the Soar cognitive architecture. Its core is a novel grounded semantic parser. Experiments show the system produces actionable meanings and fulfills ten cognitive criteria we set out.
متن کاملCognitive Modeling Approaches to Language Comprehension Using Construction Grammar
This paper examines the relationship between modeling human sentence comprehension using cognitive architectures and approaches to linguistic knowledge representation using construction grammars. We review multiple computational models of language understanding that vary in their use of construction grammar and cognitive architectures. We present a case study: Lucia, that uses Embodied Construc...
