Papers by Jens Nevens
Language Acquisition through Intention Reading and Pattern Finding (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a faithful computational operationalisation of the underlying mechanisms is still lacking. |
| Approach: | They propose a mechanistic model of intention reading and its integration with pattern finding capacities to model the intention reading process and their model of pattern finding. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model integrates intention reading and pattern finding processes with linguistic schemata that generalise over form and meaning. |

| Challenge: | a benchmark has been designed to evaluate whether artificial agents are able to understand how to perform everyday activities. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark task that maps a recipe to a set of cooking actions that are precise enough to be executed in the simulated kitchen. |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark consists of mapping a recipe to a set of cooking actions that is precise enough to be executed in the simulated kitchen and yields the desired dish. |
