Publications: Script Learning
An important part of understanding natural language is the incorporation of world knowledge. One possible way to encode world knowledge is in the form of scripts, which model stereotypical sequences of events. A script system learns scripts by generalizing such sequences of events from text. Recent work from our group in this area has explored new representations of events in scripts, and the use of recurrent neural networks to improve the learning of scripts.
