Driving Semantic Parsing from the World's Response
TL;DR: This paper develops two novel learning algorithms capable of predicting complex structures which only rely on a binary feedback signal based on the context of an external world and reformulates the semantic parsing problem to reduce the dependency of the model on syntactic patterns, thus allowing the parser to scale better using less supervision.
Proceedings Article
Learning latent engagement patterns of students in online courses
TL;DR: A framework for modeling and understanding student engagement in online courses based on student behavioral cues is developed and it is demonstrated that the latent formulation for engagement helps in predicting student survival across three MOOCs.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Encoding Social Information with Graph Convolutional Networks forPolitical Perspective Detection in News Media
Chang Li,Dan Goldwasser +1 more
TL;DR: Graph Convolutional Networks, a recently proposed neural architecture for representing relational information, is used to capture the documents’ social context, showing that social information can be used effectively as a source of distant supervision, and when direct supervision is available, even littlesocial information can significantly improve performance.
Book ChapterDOI
Analyzing Museum Visitors' Behavior Patterns
TL;DR: This work claims that, from the point of view of assessing the suitability of a qualitative theory in a given scenario, this approach is as valid as a manual annotation of museum visiting styles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Learning from natural instructions
Dan Goldwasser,Dan Roth +1 more
TL;DR: The process of learning a decision function as a natural language lesson interpretation problem, as opposed to learning from labeled examples, is suggested to view.
