(The Association for Computational Linguistics, 2022-09-14)Dis)embodiment brings together researchers from several areas examining the role of grounding and embodiment in modelling human language and behaviour – or limits thereof. The conference covers areas such as machine learning, ... -
Who is laughing now? Laughter-infused dialogue systems
(2022-08-16)This thesis paves the way for including laughter in spoken dialogue systems in a domain-general and linguistically valid way using computational linguistics tools and methods. The thesis is concerned with three main ... -
Distributional semantics for situated spatial language? Functional, geometric and perceptual perspectives
(CSLI Publications, 2022)Distributional semantics has been at the core of recent developments in deep learning work for natural language processing. This distributional semantics plus neural processing paradigm has resulted in significant improvements ... -
