When parsing unrestricted language, wide-covering grammars often undergenerate. Undergeneration can be tackled either by sentence correction, or by grammar correction. This thesis concentrates upon automatic grammar correction (or machine learning of grammar) as a solution to the problem of undergeneration. Broadly speaking, grammar correction approaches can be classified as being either {it data-driven}, or {it model-based}. Data-driven learners use data-intensive methods to acquire grammar. They typically use grammar formalisms unsuited to the needs of practical text processing and cannot guarantee that the resulting grammar is adequate for subsequent semantic interpretation. That is, data-driven learners acquire grammars that generate strings that humans would judge to be grammatically ill-formed (they {it overgenerate}) and fail to assign linguistically plausible parses. Model-based learners are knowledge-intensive and are reliant for success upon the completeness of a {it model of grammaticality}. But in practice, the model will be incomplete. Given that in this thesis we deal with undergeneration by learning, we hypothesise that the combined use of data-driven and model-based learning would allow data-driven learning to compensate for model-based learnings incompleteness, whilst model-based learning would compensate for data-driven learnings unsoundness. We describe a system that we have used to test the hypothesis empirically. The system combines data-driven and model-based learning to acquire unification-based grammars that are more suitable for practical text parsing. Using the Spoken English Corpus as data, and by quantitatively measuring undergeneration, overgeneration and parse plausibility, we show that this hypothesis is correct.
In this work, we consider the problem of searching people in an unconstrained environment, with natural language descriptions. Specifically, we study how to systematically design an algorithm to effectively acquire descriptions from humans. An algori
Recent research efforts enable study for natural language grounded navigation in photo-realistic environments, e.g., following natural language instructions or dialog. However, existing methods tend to overfit training data in seen environments and f
In this paper, we propose the Interactive Text2Pickup (IT2P) network for human-robot collaboration which enables an effective interaction with a human user despite the ambiguity in users commands. We focus on the task where a robot is expected to pic
Continual learning systems will interact with humans, with each other, and with the physical world through time -- and continue to learn and adapt as they do. An important open problem for continual learning is a large-scale benchmark that enables re
We introduce Act2Vec, a general framework for learning context-based action representation for Reinforcement Learning. Representing actions in a vector space help reinforcement learning algorithms achieve better performance by grouping similar action
