In February 2017 I gave a talk at Nuance's AI Lab about a small experiment that I did with Alexandre Rademaker and Fabricio Chalub, from IBM Research, in Rio de Janeiro.
We used the SICK corpus created by the COMPOSES project in Italy, (devised to downplay the difficulties of language understanding), together with Parsey McParseFace, Google's self-declared most accurate model in the world, to create logical representations of the sentences in SICK.
I reasoned that with all the fanfare about the advances of neural nets in NLP, considering that the corpus is simplified on purpose, these representations should be accurate enough to allow us to do the inferences required. Unfortunately between small errors here and there and big errors in the disambiguation, this experiment did not work the way I expected it to.
You can see the slides in slideshare. Since the disambiguation, using Freeling's version of personalized PageRank, didn't work at all, we have all the possible word senses from WordNet at the moment in the GitHub repository. Now I am thinking about disambiguation, but also thinking about the kinds of inferences that we want and don't want to make. This project was suggested by Danny Bobrow several years ago.
