We present the first extension of the DataOriented Parsing paradigm (Bod 1998a) to Natural Language Generation: Unmediated Data-Oriented Generation, or UDOG. It is “unmediated” because instead of using a logic-like amodal representation of meaning as a basis for semantics (Van den Berg et al 1994), it exploits direct connections between exemplars in linguistic and nonlinguistic (in this case vi...

This paper brings together two sets of writing under development, but with common themes of rejection of concepts of unity, coherence and singularity that characterize modernity. However, they also reject the notions of fragmented individualism and nihilism that are seen in much postmodern thinking. In our search for ways of facilitating generation of meaning within and for those thinking/actin...

This paper explores the use of statistical machine translation (SMT) methods for tactical natural language generation. We present results on using phrase-based SMT for learning to map meaning representations to natural language. Improved results are obtained by inverting a semantic parser that uses SMT methods to map sentences into meaning representations. Finally, we show that hybridizing thes...

Neuroimaging studies have shown that the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) plays a critical role in semantic and syntactic aspects of speech comprehension. It appears to be recruited when listeners are required to select the appropriate meaning or syntactic role for words within a sentence. However, this region is also recruited during tasks not involving sentence materials, suggesting that th...

Abstract Thinking machines must be able to use language effectively in communication with humans. It requires from them the ability generate meaning and transfer this a communicating partner. Machines also decode communicated via language. This work is about context of building an artificial general intelligent system. starts analysis Turing test some main approaches explain meaning. then consi...
