Understanding natural language commands for robotic navigation and mobile manipulation
Stefanie Tellex,Thomas Kollar,Steven Dickerson,Matthew R. Walter,Ashis G. Banerjee,Seth Teller,Nicholas Roy +6 more
TL;DR: This paper describes a new model for understanding natural language commands given to autonomous systems that perform navigation and mobile manipulation in semi-structured environments that dynamically instantiates a probabilistic graphical model for a particular natural language command according to the command's hierarchical and compositional semantic structure.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Toward understanding natural language directions
TL;DR: This work presents a system that follows natural language directions by extracting a sequence of spatial description clauses from the linguistic input and then infers the most probable path through the environment given only information about the environmental geometry and detected visible objects.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Quantitative evaluation of passage retrieval algorithms for question answering
TL;DR: This work presents a quantitative evaluation of various passage retrieval algorithms for question answering, implemented in a framework called Pauchok, and presents three important findings: Boolean querying schemes perform well in the question answering task.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Asking for Help Using Inverse Semantics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate an approach for enabling a robot to recover from failures by communicating its need for specific help to a human partner using natural language, such as "Please give me the white table leg that is on the black table".
Journal Article
The Human Speechome Project
Deb Roy,Rupal Patel,Philip DeCamp,Rony Kubat,Michael Fleischman,Brandon Roy,Nikolaos Mavridis,Stefanie Tellex,Alexia Salata,Jethran Guinness,Michael Levit,Peter Gorniak +11 more
TL;DR: The Human Speechome Project as mentioned in this paper is an effort to observe and computationally model the longitudinal course of language development for a single child at an unprecedented scale, using audio-visual experiential recordings from birth to three.
