Learning to Learn Semantic Parsers from Natural Language Supervision (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing logical forms require a user to be familiar with the underlying structure to learn a semantic parser. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for training semantic parsers from natural language feedback . they use natural language inputs to parse feedback to leverage it as a form of supervision . |
| Outcome: | The proposed algorithm learns a semantic parser from users’ corrections expressed in natural language. |
Multi-Relational Question Answering from Narratives: Machine Reading and Reasoning in Simulated Worlds (P18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Question Answering (QA) has primarily focused on knowledge bases or free text as a source of knowledge. |
| Approach: | They propose a task of multi-relational QA over personal narrative using text worlds . they generate and release a lightweight Python-based framework for easily generating additional worlds and narrative . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework combines elements of structured QA over knowledge bases and unstructured QA . it generates and analyzes five diverse datasets with dynamic narrative . the framework is lightweight and easy to use . |
