MCA-NMF: Multimodal concept acquisition with non-negative matrix factorization
In this paper we introduce MCA-NMF, a computational model of the acquisition of
multimodal concepts by an agent grounded in its environment. More precisely our model …

The learning of adjectives and nouns from affordance and appearance features
We study how a robot can link concepts represented by adjectives and nouns in language
with its own sensorimotor interactions. Specifically, an iCub humanoid robot interacts with a …

From actions to events: Communicating through language and gesture
J Pustejovsky - Interaction Studies, 2018 - jbe-platform.com
In this paper, I argue that an important component of the language-ready brain is the ability
to recognize and conceptualize events. By 'event', I mean any situation or activity in the …
