I will briefly introduce my work at Adobe Research, then talk about recent work with my student Oshin Agarwal.
Modeling children's acquisition of speech acts and clause types
This project investigates how children come to associate clause types with their canonical function, and in particular, interrogatives to questions. We examined speech acts and clause types in speech to children. I will first report some of the results from our corpus study, and then discuss our plans to model the learning process computationally, and how we are going to use Robustly-optimized BERT approach (RoBERTa) to assist the annotation process.
Speaker TBA.
The goal of HESP WIP talks is for PhD students and postdocs to discuss in-progress research in a welcoming, low-stakes environment.
