Title: Bridging NLP and brain science to improve natural language understanding
Abstract: Natural language processing systems have made impressive strides in producing useful task-oriented language tools - but even the most sophisticated NLP systems fall dramatically short of the human brain in robustness and nuance of language understanding. A particular area of need in NLP is that of sentence composition: the combinatory capacity that allows humans to generate and understand the meanings of infinite sentences based on their parts.
Two taskforces from the Language Science Policy committee present project ideas to address inequalities by connecting research and policy.
