The bottleneck of syntax in language technology research: integration of memory based machine learning in the AI-investigation of the Origins of Language

The bottleneck of syntax in language technology research
Project information
Abstract: 

This project investigates the potential integration of two Artificial Intelligence domains by investigating the problematic role of syntax within both lines of research. Syntactic research within the subfield of Memory Based Reasoning is concerned with optimising two classification tasks: classification of segmentation (delimiting constituents) and classification of disambiguation (assigning grammatical labels).The robotic experiments that are being conducted within the Origins of Language research at the AI-lab (VUB), can likewise be interpreted as classification experiments. This classification task is problematic in both domains. Joint experiments, in which properties of both MBR and the OoL research will be combined, will try to attribute new insights in both research areas, so that a number of important limitations can be resolved.
