Interactive Machine Learning for Compositional Models of Natural Language
INTERACT will develop new Interactive Learning Algorithms (ILA), motivated by applications in Natural Language Understanding (NLU). The main assumptions behind supervised approaches are unrealistic because most NLU applications have unique information needs, and large collections of annotated data are necessary to achieve good performance. INTERACT follows a collaborative machine learning paradigm that breaks the distinction between annotation and training. We focus on compositional latent-state models (CLSMs) because natural language is rich, complex and compositional. To reduce the amount of human feedback necessary for learning CLSMs we must eliminate annotation redundancy. We argue that…
