Unsupervised Inference of Object Affordance from Text Corpora
Michele Persiani | Thomas Hellström
Proceedings of the 22nd Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics

Affordances denote actions that can be performed in the presence of different objects, or possibility of action in an environment. In robotic systems, affordances and actions may suffer from poor semantic generalization capabilities due to the high amount of required hand-crafted specifications. To alleviate this issue, we propose a method to mine for object-action pairs in free text corpora, successively training and evaluating different prediction models of affordance based on word embeddings.
