Coarse-to-fine decoding for neural semantic parsing

L Dong, M Lapata - arXiv preprint arXiv:1805.04793, 2018 - arxiv.org
Semantic parsing aims at mapping natural language utterances into structured meaning
representations. In this work, we propose a structure-aware neural architecture which …

From word models to world models: Translating from natural language to the probabilistic language of thought

L Wong, G Grand, AK Lew, ND Goodman… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
How does language inform our downstream thinking? In particular, how do humans make
meaning from language--and how can we leverage a theory of linguistic meaning to build …

Language to logical form with neural attention

L Dong, M Lapata - arXiv preprint arXiv:1601.01280, 2016 - arxiv.org
Semantic parsing aims at mapping natural language to machine interpretable meaning
representations. Traditional approaches rely on high-quality lexicons, manually-built …

Data recombination for neural semantic parsing

R Jia, P Liang - arXiv preprint arXiv:1606.03622, 2016 - arxiv.org
Modeling crisp logical regularities is crucial in semantic parsing, making it difficult for neural
models with no task-specific prior knowledge to achieve good results. In this paper, we …

Compositional semantic parsing on semi-structured tables

P Pasupat, P Liang - arXiv preprint arXiv:1508.00305, 2015 - arxiv.org
Two important aspects of semantic parsing for question answering are the breadth of the
knowledge source and the depth of logical compositionality. While existing work trades off …

[PDF][PDF] Semantic parsing on freebase from question-answer pairs

J Berant, A Chou, R Frostig, P Liang - Proceedings of the 2013 …, 2013 - aclanthology.org
In this paper, we train a semantic parser that scales up to Freebase. Instead of relying on
annotated logical forms, which is especially expensive to obtain at large scale, we learn from …

Learning a neural semantic parser from user feedback

S Iyer, I Konstas, A Cheung, J Krishnamurthy… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2017 - arxiv.org
We present an approach to rapidly and easily build natural language interfaces to
databases for new domains, whose performance improves over time based on user …

Z Sun, Q Zhu, Y Xiong, Y Sun, L Mou… - Proceedings of the AAAI …, 2020 - aaai.org
A code generation system generates programming language code based on an input
natural language description. State-of-the-art approaches rely on neural networks for code …

[PDF][PDF] Information extraction over structured data: Question answering with freebase

X Yao, B Van Durme - Proceedings of the 52nd annual meeting of …, 2014 - aclanthology.org
Answering natural language questions using the Freebase knowledge base has recently
been explored as a platform for advancing the state of the art in open domain semantic …

Bringing machine learning and compositional semantics together

P Liang, C Potts - Annu. Rev. Linguist., 2015 - annualreviews.org
Computational semantics has long been considered a field divided between logical and
statistical approaches, but this divide is rapidly eroding with the development of statistical …
