Commonsense inference in human-robot communication

Aliaksandr Huminski, Yan Bin Ng, Kenneth Kwok, Francis Bond


Abstract
Natural language communication between machines and humans are still constrained. The article addresses a gap in natural language understanding about actions, specifically that of understanding commands. We propose a new method for commonsense inference (grounding) of high-level natural language commands into specific action commands for further execution by a robotic system. The method allows to build a knowledge base that consists of a large set of commonsense inferences. The preliminary results have been presented.
