To navigate many-to-many mappings between referents and linguistic expressions, listeners need to calibrate likelihood estimates for different referential expressions taking into account both the context and speaker-specific variation. Focusing on speaker variation, we present three experiments. Experiment 1 establishes that listeners generalize speakerspecific patterns of pre-nominal modificat...

We introduce an inductive logic programming approach that combines classical divide-and-conquer search with modern constraint-driven search. Our anytime can learn optimal, recursive, and large programs supports predicate invention. experiments on three domains (classification, general game playing, program synthesis) show our increase predictive accuracies reduce learning times.
