Intentional Context in Situated Natural Language Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Natural language interfaces designed for situationally embedded domains (e.g. cars, videogames) must incorporate knowledge about the users’ context to address the many ambiguities of situated language use. We introduce a model of situated language acquisition that operates in two phases. First, intentional context is represented and inferred from user actions using probabilistic context free grammars. Then, utterances are mapped onto this representation in a noisy channel framework. The acquisition model is trained on unconstrained speech collected from subjects playing an interactive game, and tested on an understanding task.

Why Verbs are Harder to Learn than Nouns: Initial Insights from a Computational Model of Intention Recognition in Situated Word Learning
We present a computational model that uses intention recognition as a basis for situated word learning. In an initial experiment, the model acquired a lexicon from situated natural language collected from human participants interacting in a virtual game environment. Similar to child language learning, the model learns nouns faster than verbs. In the model, this is due to inherent ambiguities in...
متن کاملFormulation of Language Teachers̕ Identity in the Situated Learning of Language Teaching Community of Practice
A community of practice may shape and reshape the identity of members of the community through providing them with situated learning or learning environment. This study, therefore, is to clarify the salient learning-based features of the language teaching community of practice that might formulate the identity of language teachers. To this end, the study examined how learning situations in two ...
متن کاملHierarchical reinforcement learning for situated natural language generation
Natural Language Generation systems in interactive settings often face a multitude of choices, given that the communicative effect of each utterance they generate depends crucially on the interplay between its physical circumstances, addressee and interaction history. This is particularly true in interactive and situated settings. In this paper we present a novel approach for situated Natural L...

متن کاملOrganizational Patterns of English Language Teachers’ Repair Practices
Despite the abundance of research on teachers’ repair practices in language classroom interaction, there are not enough conversation analytic studies on repair organization with the focus on the details of interaction in the context of EFL. Drawing on sociocultural and situated learning theories, this study explores the contingent nature of English language teachers’ org...
