Powerful semantics can make language<br />
processing more robust<br />
Human language is an inferential coding system which means that not<br />
all information to interpret an utterance is explicitly communicated, it<br />
must be inferred. Moreover the meaning of human language passes by<br />
intermediary of rich conceptualizations of the world which are culture<br />
and language dependent. These two features make natural language<br />
processing very difficult and introduce a glass ceiling for statistical<br />
language processing. This talk describes a computational framework for<br />
embodied cognitive semantics that is grounded in the sensori-motor<br />
intelligence of (humanoid) robots. We have used this in language game<br />
experiments that examine how open-ended robust language processing<br />
is possible by exploiting as much as possible meaning. Concrete examples<br />
are given of cognitive functions needed in conceptualization, the<br />
representation of spatial and temporal categories, the configuration of<br />
new conceptualization strategies by recruiting cognitive functions, and<br />
the mapping of conceptualization to language.
