Natural Language processing (NLP) is a field of computer science and linguistics concerned with the interactions between computers and human languages. Natural-language understanding is sometimes referred to as an Artifial Inelligence-complete problem, because natural-language recognition seems to require extensive knowledge about the outside world and the ability to manipulate it, and is often considered a sub-field of artificial intelligence. Modern NLP algorithms are grounded especially in statistical machine learning. Research into modern statistical NLP algorithms requires an understanding of a number of disparate fields, including linguistics, computer science, statistics (particularly Bayesian statistics), linear algebra and optimization theory. Prior implementations of language-processing tasks typically involved the direct hand coding of large sets of rules. The machine-learning paradigm often uses statistical inference to automatically learn such rules through the analysis of a set of documents that have been hand-annotated with the correct values to be learned. This documents are named corpus. As an example, consider the task of determining the correct part of speech of each word in a given sentence, typically one that has never been seen before. A typical machine-learning-based implementation of a part of speech tagger proceeds in two steps, a training step and an evaluation step. The training step : makes use of a corpus of training data, which consists of a <b>...</b>

Google Tech Talks May, 15 2008 ABSTRACT Ken Ingham, Ph.D. will describe the architecture and motivation behind the development of Amazability, Inc.'s Adept1 product. The Adept1 performs natural language analysis and interprets spoken words and phrases or typed input. It accepts and interprets verbal commands and responds with high quality speech. The Adept1 is equipped with voice recognition and text-to-speech output that dynamically adapts multilingual spoken output to context. The Adept1 offers such applications as word processing, email, address book, web browsing, and access to an online library of thousands of books. These applications along with others have been developed from the ground up to work with speech and have a common command language throughout. They can be employed using ordinary speech or typed words and sentences. Thus the product represents a foundation for implementing practical natural language transaction processing where simple English phrases and sentences are interpreted to command a sequence of complex operations. While the Company's founders are offering a vehicle that can be used as a full programmer's workstation, the operating system is hidden with all applications designed to be used by person's with minimal or no technical background. The Adept1 will be demonstrated and a roadmap for future applications will be given. This talk will be taped. Speaker: Ken Ingham, Ph.D.

This is an episode of REVOLUTIONARIES, a co-production of the Computer History Museum and KQED television, with major sponsorship by Intel. Recorded: Nov 15, 2011, originally broadcast on February 25, 2012. In an historic event in February 2011, IBM's Watson computer competed on Jeopardy! against the TV quiz show's two biggest all-time champions. Watson is a computer running software called Deep QA, developed by IBM Research. While the grand challenge driving the project was to win on Jeopardy!, the broader goal of Watson was to create a new generation of technology that can find answers in unstructured data more effectively than standard search technology. Computer systems that can directly and accurately answer peoples' questions over a broad domain of human knowledge have been envisioned by scientists and writers since the advent of computers themselves. Open domain question answering holds tremendous promise for facilitating informed decision making over vast volumes of natural language content. Applications in business intelligence, healthcare, customer support, enterprise knowledge management, social computing, science and government could all benefit from computer systems capable of deeper language understanding. The DeepQA project is aimed at exploring how advancing and integrating Natural Language Processing (NLP), Information Retrieval (IR), Machine Learning (ML), Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR&R) and massively parallel computation can greatly <b>...</b>

Here we see a fully autonomous robot by the name of "Cindy", navigating through a building, when a remote human operator gets in touch with her, informing her that Commander Z needs a medical kit and that one should be located in the room she is in. Cindy is able to infer the implicit instruction from the dialogue and offers her help to get the medical kit. When her offer is accepted, she forms a goal to look for a medical kit in the current room, but she also discovers that she does not know what the medkit looks like, so she asks and gets a description. From that description, she is able to build a visual model of the medkit, which allows her to look for it. Once she finds it on the table, she approaches the table and aligns herself with it, carefully looking for the handle which will allow her to pick it up. Although she has never picked up a medkit before, she is able to plan (through internal simulations) a trajectory for her right hand to grab the medkit, at which point she forms a goal to drive to the room with the green door, where she was told Commander Z is located. All reasoning, inference, natural language understanding, as well as perceptual and action learning algorithms are general and implemented in our DIARC control architecture.

Google Tech Talks August 28, 2008 ABSTRACT Bayesian nonparametric models have garnered significant attention in recent years in both the machine learning and statistics communities. These are highly flexible models whose complexity grows with the amount of data, and are nice approaches to addressing the common problem of model selection. In this talk I shall first give a brief overview of Dirichlet processes and infinite mixture models, the cornerstone of Bayesian nonparametric models. Then I shall introduce the hierarchical Dirichlet process, a Bayesian nonparametric model for problems involving multiple related groups of data. I illustrate the use of hierarchical Dirichlet processes using some applications to document and language modelling. Speaker: Yee Whye Teh I am interested in statistical machine learning and its applications. Specifically, I look into theories, models and methodologies to make graphical models applicable to large and complex problems. I am also keen on deploying the knowledge gained in applications ranging from natural language processing, to machine vision to biological problems. I studied Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, obtaining my B.Math. in 1997. Then I embarked on my graduate studies at the University of Toronto under the tutelage of Geoffrey Hinton.

Google Tech Talks May, 21 2008 ABSTRACT Reproducing an act with sensorimotor means and using fine natural language for communicating the intentionality behind the act is what Aristotle called "Poetics". POETICON explores the "poetics of everyday life", ie the synthesis of sensorimotor representations and natural language in everyday human interaction. This is related to an old problem in Artificial Intelligence on how meaning emerges, which is approached here in a new way. POETICON follows an empirical approach for discovering the "languages" of sensorimotor representations and the correspondences with natural language; guided by experiments in psychology and neuroscience, it employs cutting-edge equipment and established cognitive protocols for collecting face and body movement measurements, visual object information and associated linguistic descriptions from interacting human subjects, with a two-fold objective: a) The creation of the PRAXICON, an extensible computational resource which associates symbolic representations (words/concepts) with corresponding sensorimotor representations and that is enriched with information on patterns among these representations for forming conceptual structures. b) The exploration of the association of symbolic and sensorimotor representations through cognitive and neurophysiological experiments and experimentation with a humanoid as driving forces and implementation tools for the development of the PRAXICON, respectively.

A linguistic archaeologist digs for the very roots of our languages, many millennia before writing was invented. He or she considers all the different possibilities of language development and has to be suspicious of anything taught as "fact" in our universities. This person must be free to bring totally new ideas forward about languages origins, unaffected by dogma or tradition. It is a rather lonely position to take but it has its advantages. Having no formal education in linguistics turned out to be both very helpful and also a big drawback. It was helpful because I avoided what is described as: "It is customary for students to be introduced to their fields of study gradually, as slowly unfolding mysteries, so that by the time they can see their subject as a whole they have been so thoroughly imbued with conventional preconceptions and patterns of thought that they are extremely unlikely to be able to question its basic premises. This incapacity is particularly evident in disciplines concerned with ancient history. Their study is dominated by the learning of difficult languages, a process which is inevitably authoritarian: one may not question the logic of an irregular verb or the function of a particle. At the same time as the instructors lay down their liguistic rules, however, they provide other social and historical information that tends to be given and received in a similar spirit. While this facilitates learning and gives the scholar thus trained an incomparable <b>...</b>

This three-part series is intended to demonstrate how the late Michel Thomas was able, on the basis of his sound understanding of the psychology of language learning, to deliver effective language courses during his lifetime (1914 - 2005). Dundas mentions how in the 1940s, Michel Thomas was already far more advanced than other language teachers of that time in terms of enabling individuals to acquire language in a realistic manner. Many school teachers would have adopted an overly active approach to teaching isolated words as part of drills and expected pupils to simply absorb information in preparation for verb recitals, etc. However, Michel Thomas was fully understanding of the need to create a relaxed environment and develop spoken skills as a point of departure for teaching modern languages. He knew that transcriptions and the copying down of information does not imitated natural forms of language acquisition.

Google Tech Talks April, 9 2008 ABSTRACT A long-term goal of Machine Learning research is to solve highy complex "intelligent" tasks, such as visual perception auditory perception, and language understanding. To reach that goal, the ML community must solve two problems: the Deep Learning Problem, and the Partition Function Problem. There is considerable theoretical and empirical evidence that complex tasks, such as invariant object recognition in vision, require "deep" architectures, composed of multiple layers of trainable non-linear modules. The Deep Learning Problem is related to the difficulty of training such deep architectures. Several methods have recently been proposed to train (or pre-train) deep architectures in an unsupervised fashion. Each layer of the deep architecture is composed of an encoder which computes a feature vector from the input, and a decoder which reconstructs the input from the features. A large number of such layers can be stacked and trained sequentially, thereby learning a deep hierarchy of features with increasing levels of abstraction. The training of each layer can be seen as shaping an energy landscape with low valleys around the training samples and high plateaus everywhere else. Forming these high plateaus constitute the so-called Partition Function problem. A particular class of methods for deep energy-based unsupervised learning will be described that solves the Partition Function problem by imposing sparsity constraints on the <b>...</b>

Please check out the original source at V-Radio: v-radio.org The Zeitgeist Movement advocates the Venus Project, which is simply a name used to describe the work and ideas of Jacque Fresco. The emphasis, rather than on Fresco, or worrying about names, labels, and fallible individuals, is on the overarching observations and hence criticisms of the monetary system as a whole, rather than any local, ecological, or timely concern. Unlike many still valuable causes, the emphasis here is on the system itself, as the predominant source and underlying root cause of many and most of the world's increasingly crippling problems, from technological retardation, waste and unchecked pollution, to wholesale starvation. Furthermore, money and power are inextricably linked, and as Harvard professor Niall Ferguson stated, it functioned as portable power, the accumulation of wealth ran directly with the accumulation of power, and as I would add, this fact has historically permitted an ouroborus effect, in which both compliment one another and permit the other's perpetuation. Rather than declaring money to be evil, this is rather about a rational acknowledgment of its historical contingency, and emphasizing transitioning into a new paradigm that is able to function without it. This is the economic equivalent of the evolution of computation, in which vacuum tubes were continually shrunk down until, finally, they encountered a brick wall, and a paradigm shift occurred by moving on to <b>...</b>

Learning Richly Structured Representations From Weakly Annotated Data RI Seminar Guest Speaker Daphne Koller Rajeev Motwani Professor, Stanford Abstract The solution to many complex problems require that we build up a representation that spans multiple levels of abstraction. For example, to obtain a semantic scene understanding from an image, we need to detect and identify objects and assign pixels to objects, understand scene geometry, derive object pose, and reconstruct the relationships between different objects. Fully annotated data for learning richly structured models can only be obtained in very limited quantities; hence, for such applications and many others, we need to learn models from data where many of the relevant variables are unobserved. I will describe novel machine learning methods that can train models using weakly labeled data, thereby making use of much larger amounts of available data, with diverse levels of annotation. These models are inspired by ideas from human learning, in which the complexity of the learned models and the difficulty of the training instances tackled changes over the course of the learning process. We will demonstrate the applicability of these ideas to various problems, focusing on the problem of holistic computer vision. Speaker Biography Daphne Koller is the Rajeev Motwani Professor in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University. Her main research interest is in developing and using machine learning and <b>...</b>

Project NADINE And callVRS Partner For Childhood Literacy Project NADINE is thrilled to announce that we have the honor to host callVRS ASL Story Videos. This project hopes to promote literacy for children who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing. Earlier this year, callVRS (a Video Relay Service for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing based in Clearwater, Florida) followed through on their promise to not be the average Video Relay Service. In doing so, they shocked the Deaf community with innovative use of Video Phone technology to promote childhood literacy with the use of ASL. callVRS started a program called "ASL Story" that enables Video Phone users to call ASLstory.info on their Video Phones or Video Phone software to view an ASL Story translated from popular children's books. This new venue is what callVRS co-owner Keith Wann calls supporting Deaf literacy. "As someone who grew up bilingually with ASL and English, and as someone who has children, I understand firsthand the crucial influence of bilingualism upon children, especially those who are deaf," Wann says. "Yet not all of them have easy access to ASL-narrated stories. By combining modern video technology with ASL, we can provide on-demand ASL storytelling at no cost to them." New ASL Stories will be uploaded monthly. Previous and future performers include: Keith Wann, Crom Saunders, and Windell "Wink" Smith Jr. callVRS has also lined up some other well-known ASL performers, as well as some newcomers.
