While a lot of progress has recently been made in natural language understanding, e.g. by using (contextualized) word and sentence embeddings, big challenges remain. I will discuss fresh perspectives on natural language learning, in the shape of grounded multi-agent language games: While Wittgenstein is often invoked as the godfather of the distributional hypothesis, I argue that he has rather different lessons to teach us. This leads to a new research program for true natural language understanding, centering around active language usage in \u201cgrounded multi-agent language games\u201d. I will give some examples of research we have done at FAIR that goes in that direction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grounded Multi-Agent Language Games Douwe Kiela (Facebook AI Research) Thursday, April 4, 11:00am \u2013 12:30pm 4.31, Informatics Forum I will talk about recent work done at FAIR on novel directions for natural language processing research.
