Full textNatural Language Understanding (NLU) has been one of the longest-running and the most challenging areas in artificial intelligence. For any natural language comprehension system having a basic understanding of entities and concepts is a primary requirement. Comparison, where we name the similarities and differences between entities and concepts, is a unique cognitive ability in humans which requires memorizing facts, experiencing things and integration of concepts of the world. Clearly, developing NLU systems that are capable of comprehending comparison is a crucial step forward in AI. In this thesis, I will present my research on developing systems that are capable of comprehending comparison, through which, systems can learn world knowledge and perform basic commonsense reasoning.

Students studying foreign languages often wish to enjoy authentic foreign-language content - for example, foreign-language videos and comics. Existing means of presenting this content, however, are suboptimal from the perspective of language learning. We have developed a pair of tools that aim to help learners acquire the foreign language while enjoying authentic, foreign-language material. One tool is Smart Subtitles, which help learners learn vocabulary while watching videos. Our user evaluations have shown that Smart Subtitles help learners learn vocabulary more effectively than a popular approach for learning from video (dual subtitles). The other tool is a grammar visualization which illustrates the grammatical structure of sentences. This grammar visualization can be embedded into a number of language-learning applications. This includes a foreign-language manga reader we have built, which aims to help learners learn vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation while reading comics and manga. Our study for the grammar visualization shows that it helps monolinguals arrive at more accurate translations if we have an oracle taking the best translation of all, though there was no significant improvement in the average translation quality.

Full textTirnauca, Cristina. "Language learning with correction queries." Doctoral thesis, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/8792.
Full textWe thoroughly investigate a recently introduced, linguistic motivated, type of query called Correction Query (CQ). We consider three possible definitions, and for each of them we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a language class to be learnable with these types of queries. Furthermore, we compare the model of learning with CQs with other well-known Gold-style and query learning models when no efficiency constraints are imposed. Results are also obtained for the restricted version of the model of learning with CQs in polynomial time.
Additionally, we discuss the learnability of deterministic finite automata (DFAs) with correction and equivalence queries. We design several learning algorithms and we present a comparison between our algorithms and the standard algorithm for learning DFAs with membership and equivalence queries. These results are furthermore extended from string languages to tree languages.
Dentro del ámbito de la inferencia gramatical, el objetivo de cualquier algoritmo de aprendizaje consiste en identificar un concepto de una clase dada, teniendo acceso a un tipo específico de información. Los dos modelos de aprendizaje principales son: el modelo de aprendizaje en el límite propuesto por Gold y el modelo de aprendizaje a partir de preguntas de Angluin. Esta tesis se centra fundamentalmente en el segundo tipo de aprendizaje. En esta tesis doctoral investigamos a fondo un tipo de preguntas introducidas recientemente, por motivos lingüísticos, denominada PREGUNTA DE CORRECCIÓN. Nosotros consideramos tres posibles definiciones, y para cada uno de ellos presentamos condiciones necesarias y suficientes para que una clase de lenguajes sea identificable con estos tipos de preguntas. Además, comparamos estos tres modelos de aprendizaje a partir de preguntas de corrección con otros modelos de aprendizaje, en el caso general (sin ninguna restricción de tiempo) y también imponiendo que los algoritmos sean polinómicos.Además, investigamos el aprendizaje de autómata finitos deterministas (AFD) con preguntas de corrección y equivalencia. Diseñamos varios algoritmos de aprendizaje y presentamos una comparación entre nuestros algoritmos y el algoritmo estándar de aprendizaje a partir de preguntas de pertenencia y equivalencia. Estos resultados son, además, extendidos para los lenguajes de árboles.

Full textThis study demonstrates the importance of allowing and encouraging students to use writing as part of their learning processes. By writing about what they are being taught, students are forced to slow down, examine and reflect on the steps they use to solve problems. Sharing what they write promotes meaningful dialogue and personal engagement, essential ingredients of successful learning.

Humans learn language at an early age by simply observing the world around them. Why can't computers do the same? Conventional automatic speech recognition systems have a long history and have recently made great strides thanks to the revival of deep neural networks. However, their reliance on highly supervised (and therefore expensive) training paradigms has restricted their application to the major languages of the world, accounting for a small fraction of the more than 7,000 human languages spoken worldwide. This thesis introduces datasets, models, and methodologies for grounding continuous speech signals at the raw waveform level to natural image scenes. The context and constraint provided by the visual information enables our models to efficiently learn linguistic units, such as words, along with their visual semantics. For example, our models are able to recognize instances of the spoken word "water" within spoken captions and associate them with image regions containing bodies of water. Further, we demonstrate that our models are capable of learning cross-lingual semantics by using the visual space as an interlingua to perform speech-to-speech retrieval between English and Hindi. In all cases, this learning is done without linguistic transcriptions or conventional speech recognition - yet we show that our methods achieve retrieval scores close to what is possible when transcriptions are available. This offers a promising new direction for speech processing that only requires speakers to provide narrations of what they see.
